“A Save in Time!”

In "A Save in Time!", Superman rushes to rescue a man from a fatal accident—only to discover his good deed has triggered a cascade of unintended consequences that threaten the future. Written by Cary Bates and brought to life with Curt Swan’s iconic art, Frank Chiaramonte’s inks, and Gene D’Angelo’s colors, this 1980 classic explores the weight of a single choice. The cover by Ross Andru and Dick Giordano captures the moment’s tension, perfectly framing a story where even the Man of Steel must question whether saving a life is always the right thing to do.
