Superman #79
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Citadel of Doom!", Superman faces a new kind of threat when newspaper mogul John Wilton shuts down the Daily Planet and attempts to crush a rival paper run by the former staff—now working odd jobs to survive. Written by Edmond Hamilton and illustrated by Al Plastino, this 1952 classic captures the tension of a media battle with a hero caught in the middle, all under Wayne Boring’s iconic cover art and Stan Kaye’s sharp inks.
In "The End of the Planet!", Superman, Lois Lane, Perry White, Jimmy Olsen, and the newly introduced John Wilton—now a ruthless newspaper mogul—find themselves at odds when Wilton shuts down the Daily Planet and tries to crush a rival paper run by the ex-employees. With the city's press under threat, the team must fight back not just for their jobs, but for the truth itself.
