Time Warp #1

In "If the World Had to End Twice...", Commander Saturn faces a desperate choice: erase all life on Earth to halt an alien invasion, leaving only two survivors to rebuild. Years later, he prepares to use the solar laser once more—not to destroy, but to clear the ice for their final refuge. Written by Denny O'Neil and illustrated by Rich Buckler, with inks by Bob Smith, colors by Gene D'Angelo, and letters by Ben Oda, this 1979 DC story unfolds with quiet, haunting weight. The cover, a striking vision by Michael Wm. Kaluta, captures the stark beauty of a world reborn from ruin.
