Superman #113
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Chapter 1: The Superman of the Past," Superman confronts a kryptonite meteor before uncovering a mysterious helmet that holds mind-tapes of Jor-El’s earlier adventures on Krypton. Written by Bill Finger and illustrated by Wayne Boring, with inks by Stan Kaye and lettering by Pat Gordon, this 1957 issue features a cover by Wayne Boring and Stan Kaye, offering a rare glimpse into the life of Superman’s father before the planet’s destruction.
In a flashback to Krypton’s past, Superman uncovers mind-tapes revealing Jor-El’s daring mission to save Queen Latora and the Vergoans from a looming threat, long before the planet’s destruction. The mysterious helmet holds echoes of a forgotten chapter in Kryptonian history, one that reshapes how Superman sees his father’s legacy.
In "Chapter 2: The Secret of the Towers," Queen Latora recounts a desperate plan from Krypton's past—her attempt to harness the planet’s unstable uranium core to reignite her own dying world, a secret tied to the ancient Vergoans and a renegade scientist whose actions may have altered Krypton’s fate forever.
