“To Save a Superman”

In "To Save a Superman," writer Cary Bates and artist Mike Kaluta deliver a gripping tale set beneath the ruins of Krypton, where a desperate time experiment goes awry. When scientist Mal-Va's assistant Zol-Mar is sent into the past with the hope of altering history, his own ambitions collide with a malfunctioning device—leaving him stranded in a timeline far from his own. Neal Adams' striking cover captures the mystery and tension of a story where the past holds more danger than salvation.

Under the Scarlet Jungle of Krypton lies a condemned device, with which scientist Mal-Va planned to send his assistant Zol-Mar into the past and then return him after 10 minutes. However, Zol-Mar had ambitions of his own and sabotaged the machine, intending to stay in the past and be acclaimed for his mastery of the technologically advanced devices he carried with him. But the experiment, and Zol-Mar's plans, went horribly wrong when the time travel machine sent Zol-Mar in the wrong direction.
