A haunting Nick Cardy cover sets the tone perfectly: Superman stands windswept on a rocky crag amid crackling lightning while two ghostly figures — unmistakably his Kryptonian parents — loom above him in judgment, their speech bubbles delivering the chilling accusation, "Kal-El, you are no longer our son!" The story title "The Man Who Betrayed Krypton!" promises a deeply personal conflict that strikes at the very heart of Clark Kent's heritage. This 1974 issue also packs in a Green Arrow backup, making it a genuinely satisfying read from cover to cover.
