Superman #1
In "Prólogo Adiós al amanecer verde...", John Byrne and Miguel G. Saavedra deliver a poignant origin moment as Jor-El and Lara face Krypton’s imminent collapse, their love and desperation shaping the fate of their unborn son. With Earth as his only hope, Jor-El launches Kal-El into the stars, a final act of faith as the planet burns. The story, illustrated by Byrne with inks by Dick Giordano and colors by Tom Ziuko, is anchored by Byrne’s cover art, both pencils and inks.
