Superman #23/1984
In "Der Mann der Superman sterben sah!", Batman ventures into the Antarctic on a high-stakes chase after the Penguin, tracking him to a remote location tied to a mysterious rocket system. When the pursuit ends with an empty recording, the revelation from Bill Modell shakes the detective’s certainty—no such system ever existed. Meanwhile, the Wayne household faces a new kind of pressure as the youth services intervene, concerned about Jason being left alone while Bruce Wayne is once again absent. Written by Doug Moench and illustrated by Gene Colan, with inks by Bob Smith and colors by Adrienne Roy, this 1984 issue delivers a tense, character-driven mystery. The cover, by Eduardo Barreto, captures the Antarctic intrigue with stark, atmospheric detail.
