☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis massive black-and-white volume collects the first half of DC Comics Presents, the 1970s-80s series that paired Superman with a different DC hero each month. Featuring team-ups with everyone from the Flash and Green Lantern to lesser-known characters like the Atomic Knights, these stories showcase the Man of Steel's role as the linchpin of the DC Universe during the Bronze Age. The collection also includes the debut of the original Vigilante and a rare Superman/Shazam! crossover.
In "Chase to the End of Time!", a desperate Zelkot fugitive named Iylar flees across Earth with the Volkir and Zelkot hot on his trail, seeking to alter the past and end their war before it begins. With the fate of Earth hanging in the balance, The Flash is drawn into the chase, while Superman is pulled into the conflict when the Volkir claim that stopping Iylar could unravel history—potentially dooming Krypton to an earlier demise.
In "Race to the End of Time!", Superman and the Flash team up across centuries to stop Iylar, a desperate Zelkot seeking to prevent an ancient alien war—knowing it could doom Earth. As they race through time, the heroes must decide whether to let history unfold or rewrite it, with the fate of Earth hanging in the balance.
In "The Fantastic Fall of Green Lantern!", Green Lantern’s battle takes a sudden turn when Star Sapphire overpowers him, sending him plummeting from the sky—landing at Clark Kent’s feet and passing him the power ring. As Superman, Clark must use the ring’s power to help the fallen hero confront Star Sapphire, only to find himself caught in a new threat as Fridol appears.
In "Judge, Jury... and No Justice!", Superman finds himself on trial at the hands of a future version of Superboy—Pete Ross, who has used time and mind-transfer technology to swap places with the young hero. Accused of failing to protect Jon Ross, Superman faces a jury of his closest allies, but when the verdict goes against him, Pete prepares to carry out execution. Meanwhile, in Smallville, Superboy—now trapped in Pete’s body—breaks free and calls on Krypto, who springs into action to save the day.
In "The Ice Slaves of Killer Frost!", Superman's attempt to contain a frozen villain backfires when he inadvertently sets Killer Frost free, unleashing her icy powers across the city. With the threat escalating, Firestorm reforms to stand against her, forcing a tense alliance between the two heroes. As the battle rages, Superman extends an unexpected invitation to Firestorm—joining the Justice League of America.
