Supercomic #44
In "Supermán, Rey de la Tierra," a familiar twist turns Clark Kent and Superman into opposing forces when Red Kryptonite splits them once more—this time with Superman embracing power as a world-dominating king, threatening the United Nations with his might. Clark, refusing to stand by, rallies an underground resistance to reclaim the world from his own monstrous alter ego. Written by Leo Dorfman and brought to life with Curt Swan’s dynamic art and George Klein’s precise inks, this 1971 tale from Editorial Novaro features a cover by Curt Swan and Sheldon Moldoff, capturing the tension of a planet divided.
When Red Kryptonite once again fractures Clark Kent into two, the resulting Superman becomes a tyrannical figure who demands to be crowned king of the world, threatening the United Nations with his power. Meanwhile, the more humble Clark Kent must rally allies in secret to build an underground resistance against his own monstrous alter ego. With Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Perry White caught in the crossfire, the line between hero and tyrant blurs in a battle for the soul of a world that never asked to be ruled.
On Valentine's Day, Comet the Super-Horse finds himself caught between longing and identity when he asks Circe to make him human—just so he can tell Supergirl how he feels. But as the day unfolds, tangled emotions and unexpected twists force him to question whether being human was ever truly what he wanted.
