The Best of DC #36

In "The Curse of Kryptonite!" from The Best of DC #36 (1983), Superman is drawn into a deadly gamble when Jax-Ur manipulates him into freeing the Phantom Zone to save Atlantis from a mysterious plague. With Curt Swan’s iconic art and George Klein’s inks bringing the action to life, the story unfolds as Jax-Ur unleashes a terrifying new form of kryptonite—Jewel Kryptonite—granting the Zone’s prisoners a chilling new power. Ed Hannigan and Dick Giordano’s cover captures the moment of high tension, setting the stage for a battle of wills that stretches the limits of Superman’s resolve.
