About this Collection

This 1983 annual collects a selection of Superman stories originally published in the United States, presented in a hardcover format for the UK market by Egmont. It features classic Silver and Bronze Age tales showcasing the Man of Steel battling familiar foes and upholding truth and justice, typical of the era's annual releases.

In "The Key That Unlocked Chaos!", Superman and Supergirl face their greatest challenge yet when Mongul seizes control of Warworld’s arsenal, turning the deadly planet into a weapon of mass destruction. With the fate of the universe hanging in the balance, the duo must survive the onslaught—only to discover a chilling mystery: Mongul himself is nowhere to be found. Written by Len Wein and brought to life by Jim Starlin’s bold art, Romeo Tanghal’s inks, Jerry Serpe’s colors, and Ben Oda’s lettering, this 1983 annual features a striking cover by Brian Bolland.
