Superman #23/1978
In "Der Sandsturm der Metropolis verschlang", written by Paul Levitz and Paul Kupperberg and illustrated by James Sherman with inks by Bob McLeod and colors by Adrienne Roy, the young mutant Sternschwinge faces a trial of unity as she trains with Legion of Super-Heroes aspirants under Wildfeuer’s guidance. While her extraordinary speed and instinctive navigation through cosmic storms mark her as exceptional, her emotional distance challenges her to confront what truly binds heroes together. The cover by Rich Buckler and Frank Giacoia captures the storm’s intensity, mirroring the personal and team trials ahead in this 1978 Egmont Ehapa release.
In a storm-lashed Metropolis, Kobra unleashes a devastating sandstorm and holds Clark Kent’s parents, Martha and Jonathan, hostage from a frozen moment in the past. With Lois Lane and Lana Lang watching in dread, Superman must race against time to harness the storm’s fury and save the city—before the airborne poison claims every life in the skyline.
In a quiet moment of training, Wildfeuer watches Sternschwinge push herself to the limit, her sharp focus masking a past shaped by isolation and duty. As the young mutant struggles to trust her fellow Legionanwärter, Laurel Kent and Jed Rikane uncover fragments of her history—her planet’s desperate need, her speed beyond light, her unshakable sense of direction in the darkest voids. When a mission forces them to rely on one another, Sternschwinge must confront what it means to be part of a team, not just a weapon.
