Superman #8/1979
In "Das Ende von Krypton," Superman faces a dual threat as Earth braces for the arrival of Krypton’s light rays, while Brainiac forces him to confront the devastating spectacle of his homeworld’s destruction. Written by Cary Bates and brought to life with Curt Swan’s iconic art, Frank Chiaramonte’s inks, and Gene D’Angelo’s colors, this 1979 issue captures a pivotal moment in Superman’s mythos. The cover by Ross Andru and Dick Giordano perfectly frames the emotional weight of the story.
In "Das Ende von Krypton," Superman races to protect Earth as the remnants of Krypton’s destruction loom, forcing a tense convergence of humanity and the Kandorian survivors. With Brainiac manipulating the chaos, Superman is pushed to confront the haunting vision of his homeworld’s final moments—while allies like Lois Lane, Perry White, and even unexpected figures like Wundergirl and Grüne Leuchte stand ready in the shadow of the coming light.
When the mysterious Stasis arrives in Smallville demanding protection fees from the townspeople, Superboy finds himself captured and at the mercy of the villain. With Clark Kent’s family and friends standing together, the people of Smallville rise to defend their home—and Superboy must rely on their courage to outwit a threat that no single hero could face alone.
