Superman Presents Wonder Comic Monthly #98
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Capture of Superman," a rare standalone tale from Superman Presents Wonder Comic Monthly #98, Edmond Hamilton crafts a poignant moment where Batman’s sense of worth is tested—his injury during a mission leads him to doubt his value without superpowers. Superman, recognizing this, takes him to Kandor, a city of Kryptonians where neither of them possesses their usual abilities, offering a quiet space to rediscover confidence. Curt Swan’s art, with inks by Sheldon Moldoff, brings emotional depth to the journey, while the cover by Swan and Anderson captures the gravity of the moment.
In a rare moment of vulnerability, Batman grapples with self-doubt after being injured while trying to help Superman—believing his worth lies only in his lack of powers. Superman, determined to restore his ally’s faith, takes him to Kandor, where neither hero has superhuman abilities, and the two must rely on something deeper than strength.
When Batman is hypnotized into becoming the warden of an alien prison, he’s ordered to capture Superman and lock him away with a roster of other heroes—including Electric Man, The Freezer, Balloon Man, and The Flame—while Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen watch in disbelief. The stakes rise as the line between protector and prisoner blurs, and even the might of the Man of Steel faces a cage built not of steel, but of mind control.
In "Part II—The Revenge Of Superman!", Superman’s escape from captivity ignites a dangerous chain reaction, setting him on a collision course with Batman. As the alien threat from the planet Vor descends to reclaim their lost prison, the city braces for a battle that will test the limits of heroism and vengeance.
