Superman #20/1981
In "Makabre Metamorphose!", Superman’s cousin Jo finds himself facing a crisis at school, prompting him to share a rare tale from his Kryptonian heritage. Through the story of young Kar-Lu, who resists training until a moment of peril forces him to recognize the value of discipline, Jo begins to understand the importance of preparation—just as the story’s own young hero must learn. Written by Paul S. Newman and brought to life with dynamic art by Rich Buckler, inks by Joe Giella, and colors by Jerry Serpe, this 1981 classic features a striking cover by Ross Andru and Dick Giordano.
