“...And Not a Drop to Drink”

In "...And Not a Drop to Drink," a Kryptonian newsman uncovers a chilling secret: Fel-Kar, a member of the Science Council, knows Jor-El has been conducting forbidden space experiments—but has done nothing to stop them. As Krypton teeters toward destruction, the newsman realizes Fel-Kar’s true intent lies not in saving the planet, but in escaping aboard Jor-El’s unfinished full-size rocket, not the one meant for Kal-El. Written by Bob Rozakis and brought to life with definitive art by Gil Kane—pencils and inks alike—this poignant tale captures a final, desperate act of truth-telling on a dying world, with Tom Ziuko’s colors and Gaspar Saladino’s lettering adding depth to a story that lingers long after the last page.

A Kryptonian newsman discovers that Fel-Kar, a member of the Science Council, knows that Jor-El is conducting illegal experiments in space exploration, but doesn't understand why Fel-Kar has failed to take any action. Only when he sees Fel-Kar trying to escape Krypton's death throes in Jor-El's unfinished full-size rocket, not the model rocket used to send Kal-El to Earth, does the newsman understands Fel-Kar's plan. So the newsman prevents Fel-Kar from getting to Jor-El's model rocket and files a final article no one will ever read exposing the corrupt official.
