Superman Superband #19
In "Clark Kent sucht Superman," the mystery deepens as Clark Kent takes a personal journey to find the Man of Steel, unaware that his search is entangled in a larger scheme. The story unfolds on New Krypton, where the Black Flame Zora's plans to delay Superman and Supergirl's return are quietly shaping events beyond their control. Written by E. Nelson Bridwell and brought to life with Curt Swan’s iconic art, Frank Chiaramonte’s inks, and Carl Gafford’s colors, this 1982 issue offers a classic Superman tale with a twist. The cover by Ross Andru and Dick Giordano captures the tension in a striking, timeless image.
In "Kapitel 1 - Der Ahnen-Auftrag!", Superman sets out to uncover the truth behind his lineage, guided by a mysterious mission to trace his family’s history. With Supergirl by his side, he journeys to Kandor—now temporarily reemerged in their dimension—seeking answers from the echoes of his past, where long-lost ancestors and forgotten legacies await.
In "Kapitel 5 - Erinnerungen sterben nicht!", Superman and Supergirl confront a lingering mystery tied to a fabricated illusion of the Yagrum-Bestie, stalling their investigation. With the help of ancient technology and focused will, Superman pushes deeper into the past using neural bands, seeking truths buried in memory—while the presence of Zor-El, Allura In-Ze, Van-Ze, and the enigmatic Schwarze Flamme lingers in the shadows of what’s yet to be revealed.
In "Kapitel 6 - Der Herr der Blitze," Superman and Supergirl face a sudden surge of power as Hatu-El’s experimental generator activates during the battle with the Vrangs. When the charged statue unleashes a blast that knocks Superman to the ground, a shadowy figure emerges—revealing a new threat cloaked in lightning and mystery.
In "Kapitel 7 - Invasion aus dem Weltraum!", Superman confronts a crisis no one believes—his observations through a telescope reveal the approaching Vrangs, but when the invasion begins, it's too late for doubt. With Supergirl questioning who might be behind the threat, the fate of Earth hangs in the balance as old ties and hidden motives come into play.
In "Kapitel 9 - Kandor adieu!", Superman, Supergirl, and the others face a tense moment on New Krypton as the enigmatic Schwarze Flamme Zora Vi-Lar attempts to delay their departure. With the fate of the planet hanging in the balance, Zora's motives remain unclear—her actions rooted in a personal loss tied to Kara’s return.
In "Kapitel 12 - Zurück zum Anfang!", Superman confronts a long-buried legacy when the ancient Kryptonian warlord Erok-El resurfaces, forcing Clark Kent to grapple with the origins of his own name and lineage. With Supergirl, Perry White, and a cast of Kryptonian ancestors like Hyr-El and Milia drawn into the mystery, the past begins to unravel in ways that challenge everything Clark thought he knew.
