Superman #9/1980
In "Der Hypno-Horror!", Superman faces a terrifying alien threat: a bear-like creature from beyond space that hypnotizes countless children—and even the Man of Steel proves powerless. When all seems lost, a telepathic call from the Phantom Zone reaches him, revealing the shocking truth: the creature was created by Orn-Zu, a Kryptonian exile long thought lost. Written by Cary Bates and brought to life with Curt Swan’s iconic art, Frank Chiaramonte’s inks, and Adrienne Roy’s colors, this 1980 classic features a cover by Ross Andru and Dick Giordano.
When a bear-like alien begins hypnotizing children across Metropolis—and even Superman proves powerless—his only hope lies in a telepathic call from the Phantomzone. There, the Kryptonian ORN-ZU reveals a shocking truth: the alien menace was his creation, and now the fate of Earth hangs in the balance.
When Alfred Pennyworth reads a newspaper article claiming Batman caught him in a theft, he’s stunned — and determined to clear his name. Following the trail, he uncovers a mysterious group known as the Butler-Bande, leading to a twisty mystery where loyalty and disguise blur.
