Superman #2/1974
In "Der Junge, der Superman rettete," Clark Kent investigates strange phenomena in Utah’s salt desert on behalf of Morgan Edge—only to leap into action as Superman when Lois Lane is trapped in a shifting dune. As he confronts a mysterious structure that defies physics, he uncovers a lingering threat: the villain Nyxly stole a powerful suit and energy sling, which now links with a local boy, Billy Anders, and his lynx in a mind-swap. When Superman encounters the building again, he’s met not by an enemy—but by his old friend John J’onnz, standing where no one should be. Written by Dennis O'Neil, illustrated by Curt Swan with inks by Murphy Anderson, and featuring a striking cover by Nick Cardy, this 1974 issue blends eerie mystery with classic superhero resolve.
In "Der Junge, der Superman rettete," Superman is sent by Morgan Edge to investigate strange phenomena in Utah’s salt desert, where he rescues Lois Lane from a collapsing dune. When a mysterious structure appears—defying physics and resisting his powers—he discovers it’s tied to Ferlin Nyxly, who stole a powerful suit and energy sling just before vanishing. The weapon’s energy has caused Billy Anders and his luchs to swap consciousnesses, and as Superman tracks Nyxly through the desert, he encounters a shocking vision of Martian Manhunter—just as the building’s secrets begin to unfold.
When the comedian Davy King enrolls at university, his dream of a quiet academic life quickly turns chaotic—his every attempt to study is sabotaged by a string of increasingly dangerous accidents. With his former agent behind the scenes, it's up to Robin to protect him before things spiral out of control.
