Superman #17/1973
In "Olsen, der Verräter," a mysterious series of small disasters shakes Krypton, leaving even the Drom puzzled. When he realizes the Kryptonians never learned to express grief, a hidden truth emerges: every six years, healing water can safely release the accumulated emotional energy from their eyes. Written by Cary Bates and illustrated by Dick Dillin with inks by Frank McLaughlin, this 1973 issue features a cover by Nick Cardy, capturing the quiet tension of a world on the edge of revelation.
In "Olsen, der Verräter," Jimmy Olsen takes a chance on redemption, trying to help a group of former small-time crooks turn their lives around by supporting their honest new start. But when real estate schemers like Morgan Edge and Steve Breen see an opportunity to sabotage their efforts, Jimmy finds himself caught between loyalty and the cost of doing good.
When Tom Carson vanishes inside a seemingly impenetrable car, the mystery deepens—no trace of him remains, not even a single clue. Robin zeroes in on a clever invention behind the disappearance, unraveling a puzzle that’s as baffling as it is dangerous.
When strange small disasters shake Krypton, the Drom Vol-Tir and his companions—Rog-Ta, Tar, Roxa, and Mav-Tir—must confront a mystery rooted in something long forgotten: the absence of mourning in their culture. As the planet's hidden grief begins to surface, they discover that tears, long unexpressed, may hold the key to restoring balance.
