Superman in "The Computers That Saved Metropolis" #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Prologue," Superman faces a rare challenge not from a villain, but from his own fading control, as Alec and Shanna rely on their TRS-80 computers to help stabilize the situation when Major Disaster strikes Metropolis. Written by Cary Bates and illustrated by Jim Starlin, with inks by Dick Giordano and letters by Ben Oda, this 1980 issue blends early computing with superhero drama, all wrapped in a cover by Ross Andru and Dick Giordano.
In a tech-savvy twist, Alec and Shanna team up with Superman—struggling to manage his powers—to harness the power of two TRS-80 computers and outsmart Major Disaster, whose latest scheme threatens Metropolis. With help from unexpected allies and the quiet brilliance of Nobel-winning scientists making cameo appearances, the fate of the city hinges on ingenuity, not just strength.
