Superman #5/1977
In this 1977 German edition of Superman #5, a thrilling tale unfolds as the Legion of Super-Heroes journeys to Zentor to celebrate the legendary film star Questar—only to find themselves facing a real-life threat when the infamous 10-Year Monster appears. Written by Jim Shooter and illustrated by Mike Nasser with inks by Bob Layton, the story blends cinematic flair with classic superhero action. The striking cover by Kurt Schaffenberger captures the moment the heroes confront the unexpected danger.
When a strange, sudden fear grips every man in Metropolis, Superman and Jimmy Olsen must unravel the mystery—especially as Lucy Lane slips into a mysterious trance. With the help of the Quarzarierin, they retreat to Superman’s Fortress of Solitude, where the true source of the panic may lie hidden in the cold, quiet depths of the Arctic.
In a surreal twist, Superman finds himself outmatched by an otherworldly force, while Jimmy Olsen uncovers a hidden truth that sends him plunging into a secret identity forged in the ruins of Kandor—becoming the Flammvogel. With Kryptonian tech fueling his new form, Jimmy confronts the Man of Steel, not as an enemy, but as the only one who can heal him. Lucy Lane watches from the shadows, caught in the unfolding mystery.
When Elastoman crosses paths with the Kalkulator, he’s unwittingly infected with the Elasto-Pest—spreading a strange, uncontrollable stretching affliction to anyone sharing his space. As Sue Dibny finds herself caught in the bizarre wave of elongation, the line between hero and hazard begins to blur.
