Superman: The Man of Steel #111

In "Return to Krypton Part Three: The Most Dangerous Kryptonian Game," Superman and Lois Lane venture deep into the ruins of Krypton, separated from their allies and hunted by Zod’s relentless enforcers Faora and Kru-El. With their power belts failing and time running out, they seek the elusive Xuthful ore—only to find their path altered by an unexpected ally. Written by Mark Schultz and brought to life by Doug Mahnke’s dynamic art, with Tom Nguyen’s inks and Wildstorm FX’s vibrant colors, this 2001 issue delivers a tense, atmospheric journey through Krypton’s forgotten reaches. The cover by Paul Rivoche captures the moment’s urgency with striking precision.
