Superman #5/1978
In "Die Herzattacke die Superman umwarf," Superman faces off against the newly reengineered Metallo in a high-stakes battle that pushes him to his limits. As Dr. Klyburn reveals a mysterious SKULL Agent whose heart has been replaced with a green stone—safe from Kryptonite—Superman must confront both the mechanical menace and the lingering threat of green fragments in a collapsing cave. Written by Martin Pasko and brought to life with Curt Swan’s dynamic art, Dan Adkins’ inks, and Jerry Serpe’s colors, this 1978 issue sees Clark Kent’s world shift with the arrival of a new colleague, Martin Korda, while the Man of Steel battles not just Metallo, but the very edge of his endurance. The cover, a striking piece by José Luis García-López, captures the moment of tension with chilling precision.

Superman kämpft gegen den neuen Metallo. Dr. Klyburn zeigt Superman den SKULL Agent, dessen Herz gegen einen grünen Stein ausgetauscht worden war, der zum Glück kein Kryptonit ist. Superman verfolgt Metallo, doch er kann wieder entwischen. Gleichzeitig stellt Morgan Edge Clark Kent seinen neuen Kollegen Martin Korda vor. Beim erneuten Kampf Supermans gegen Metallo in eine Höhle kann der Stählerne nur mit Mühe siegen und bleibt aber zwischen grünen Kryptonitteilchen fast bewustlos liegen.
