Superman #12/1980
In "Supermans Super-Pechsträhne!", Superman teams up with Trixie Magruder to investigate a mysterious figure appearing on Rann—Adam Strange, trapped between dimensions by a psychic entity that feeds on inner conflict. With the help of the Justice League's teleporter, they race to free him before his fractured consciousness collapses entirely. Written by J. M. DeMatteis and illustrated by Ken Landgraf, with inks by Armando Gil, this 1980 issue features a striking cover by Ross Andru and Dick Giordano.
In a story where luck takes a sinister turn, Superman finds himself trapped in an endless streak of bad fortune—especially when he realizes his daily news broadcasts line up perfectly with a camera in a neighboring studio. There, the Monetenspielshow, orchestrated by Amos Fortune, uses a mysterious "Murphy-Machine" to manipulate fate, turning natural luck into a weapon against the public. With Steve Lombard, Johnny Nevada, and Arthur Gorman caught in the web, and Morgan Edge watching from the sidelines, even the Man of Steel may not be immune to the machine’s cruel design.
Falke stößt auf eine geheimnisvolle Erscheinung von Adam Strange, die zwischen den Welten gefangen zu sein scheint. Mit Hilfe von Trixie Magruder und dem Satellit der Gerechtigkeitsliga versucht er, die Wahrheit hinter der Erscheinung zu enthüllen — und die Vergangenheit eines Mannes, der zwischen zwei Welten hin und her gerissen wird.
