Superman Poche #74-75
In "Terra double ! Le vagabond cosmique," a Kryptonian newsman uncovers a shocking secret: Fel-Kar, a member of the Science Council, is aware of Jor-El's forbidden space experiments yet has done nothing—until now. As Krypton faces its final moments, the newsman realizes Fel-Kar's true intentions when he sees the official trying to flee aboard Jor-El’s unfinished full-size rocket, not the small craft meant for Kal-El. Written by Bob Rozakis and illustrated with bold precision by Gil Kane—his inks and Tom Ziuko’s colors adding depth to the doomed planet’s final hours—this gripping two-part story from 1983 sees the newsman make a desperate stand, filing a final exposé no one will ever read. The cover, by Rich Buckler and Dick Giordano, captures the cosmic tension in a striking, dynamic image.

So the newsman prevents Fel-Kar from getting to Jor-El's model rocket and files a final article no one will ever read exposing the corrupt official.
