“Secret Origins, Part 1: The Knight”

In "Secret Origins, Part 1: The Knight," Superman’s sudden absence during a Stryker’s Island breakout sends the Justice League on a search that uncovers a shocking disconnect—while the world believes he’s battling Sinestro across the galaxy with Hal Jordan, the truth behind his whereabouts begins to unravel. Written by Ron Marz and illustrated by Tom Grindberg, with inks by Bill Anderson and colors by Glenn Whitmore and Digital Chameleon, this 1999 issue delivers a gripping mystery that redefines Superman’s presence in the cosmos. The cover, by Walt Simonson, captures the tension with a striking, enigmatic image.
