☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection reprints George Pérez's celebrated run on the Adventures of Superman series, showcasing his dynamic storytelling and iconic art during a defining era for the Man of Steel. It features key storylines and character moments from the late 1980s, including Pérez's work on the Superman titles following the landmark Crisis on Infinite Earths event.
In "The Once-and-Future War!", George Pérez and Nicola Scott deliver a pulse-pounding chapter where Supergirl rushes to save Billy McCoy, only to face a creature eerily resembling Superman—driven by a mysterious, ancient programming. As the real Superman awakens in space, linked psychically to the entity, he uncovers its origins in the nanites of Jazuur, a world touched by the Collector of Worlds, and races back to Earth to end the threat. The issue’s dynamic art by Pérez, Scott, and Trevor Scott, with vibrant colors by Brett Smith, brings the cosmic stakes to life, all on a cover painted and inked by Pérez himself.
In "Memories of Krypton's Past," Superman faces off against Mongul's brutal gladiators in a fight that tests his strength and resolve. The Cleric, a guardian of ancient relics, holds a mysterious artifact from Krypton—waiting for the right moment to pass it on.
In "What Price Tomorrow?", Superman returns to a transformed Metropolis on the night Galaxy Communications unveils its new acquisition—the Daily Planet—only to confront a dual threat: terrorists hijacking a tanker truck and a mysterious fire creature erupting from the sleek new Metrodome. The story blends high-stakes action with the weight of urban change, as the Man of Steel navigates a city reshaped by corporate ambition and sudden danger.
In "Flying Blind," Superman grapples with a haunting mystery: the fire creature he just fought seemed to whisper "Krypton," a word that sends shivers through his mind. Suddenly, a new threat emerges—one invisible to everyone but him—and he must rely on the cameras in an electronics store to see and fight back, only to hear the same forbidden name whispered again.
In "A Cold Day in Hell," Superman faces a chilling new threat when a creature speaking Krypton’s name freezes everything in its path—only to reveal a shocking link to his colleague, Heather Kelley. As he confronts the ice entity, he realizes the connection is personal, and severing it leaves Heather vanished, drawn into a hidden network of others tied to the strange phenomenon.
In "Menace!", a figure eerily resembling Superman emerges with powers drawn from the alien threats he’s recently confronted—fire, freezing, and invisibility—taking drastic steps to eliminate the very dangers that have plagued Metropolis. When the threat escalates to targeting Billy McCoy, the line between protector and menace blurs, leaving the truth of this imposter shrouded in doubt.
In "The Measure of a Superman," Supergirl races to save Billy McCoy as a creature eerily resembling Superman turns its focus to her. When Lois’s desperate cries echo through space, they awaken the real Superman, who realizes too late that the being before him is not a foe, but a twisted echo born from ancient nanites shaped by the Collector of Worlds’ forgotten legacy.
