Superman #2/1977
In "Das Geheimnis der Versklavung Supergirls," Steve Lombard attempts to write his memoirs, spurred by a request to honor his late coach with a foreword—something he initially refused. Flashbacks reveal a debt of gratitude: years ago, Lombard saved his trainer’s life, only to learn the man had promised to repay him in a way neither expected. With Curt Swan’s expressive art and Martin Pasko’s grounded storytelling, this 1977 issue offers a poignant, character-driven tale anchored in memory and obligation. Rich Buckler and Vince Colletta’s cover captures the weight of that unspoken promise.
Supergirl’s latest act of heroism hides a troubling secret—each good deed seems to be followed by a dark consequence. When she begins tracking her own actions through an invisible camera, she uncovers a strange connection to a young boy named Bobby and an alien urn that channels commands from a mysterious figure known as Martin Hamilton. As she investigates further, she finds herself drawn into a web of isolation and control centered around the Festung der Einsamkeit, where the line between hero and pawn begins to blur.
Steve Lombard sets out to write his memoir, driven not by fame but by a promise left unfulfilled—his late trainer once vowed to repay him for saving his life, and now Steve seeks to understand what that debt truly meant. As he recounts their past, the memory of Chuck Peters’ quiet sacrifice begins to unravel in ways he never expected.
In a haunting vision, Traumgirl foresees the death of a prince from Demros II. With the help of Brainiac 5’s power belt, Chamäleonboy takes on the prince’s form, determined to fulfill the prophecy without endangering the real man—only to confront the inescapable weight of fate itself.
