“Chapter I: The Super-Brat from Krypton”

In "Chapter I: The Super-Brat from Krypton," a bizarre accident on Krypton produces a duplicate of Kal-El’s rocket—and the infant inside is no mere copy, but a being with powers of his own. Adopted by the deceitful Dereks, this second Superman grows up with a very different set of values, setting the stage for a clash of ideals. Written by Jerry Siegel and brought to life by Curt Swan’s definitive art with inks by John Forte, the cover by Swan and Stan Kaye captures the eerie duality of the moment.
