Superman #10/1979
In "Zwischen Licht und Finsternis," Superman faces a brutal test of will as the glare of a dying star triggers another violent seizure, threatening to overwhelm him just as Brainiac unleashes a global bomb threat. Though Falke manages to defend the League's satellite, Superman must endure the storm within while the League holds back—knowing that any interference could trigger a worldwide catastrophe. 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 1979 issue captures the hero at his most vulnerable, with Ross Andru and Dick Giordano's cover sealing the tension in a single, striking image.
In "Zwischen Licht und Finsternis," Superman grapples with a terrifying resurgence of his light-induced vulnerability as a nova’s blinding explosion triggers a violent psychic seizure. With Falke defending the League’s satellite from a relentless steel assault, the fate of the world hangs in the balance—Brainiac has scattered bombs across the globe, and any interference risks triggering a global catastrophe. As chaos unfolds, Superman must confront both his own limits and the alien menace before him, while Jerry, Theodore J. Henkin, and the League watch in tense silence.
When a determined reporter uncovers a long-buried secret linking Buzzy McKame to a decades-old murder, the trail leads straight to his brother, Angus McKame. With Batman and Police Chief James "Jim" Gordon racing to piece together the truth, the case takes a deadly turn—one that leaves the past buried and the mystery unsolved.
