“No Tomorrow for Superman!”

In "No Tomorrow for Superman!", Superman struggles to contain a surge of dangerous super-energy triggered by memories of Krypton’s destruction—until Brainiac manipulates him into accidentally targeting the Justice League satellite. Written by Cary Bates and brought to life by Curt Swan’s iconic art, with inks by Frank Chiaramonte and colors by Gene D'Angelo, this 1978 issue captures a rare moment of vulnerability for the Man of Steel. The cover, by Ross Andru and Dick Giordano, perfectly captures the tension of the moment.
