Superman Géant #5

Nov 1979 · Sage - Sagédition · 5 FRF
“L'incroyable Terra-Bis”

In "L'incroyable Terra-Bis," a 1979 French release from Sage - Sagédition, Superman's legacy is erased in an alternate 1950s Earth-2, leaving Clark Kent unaware of his heroic past. Written by Cary Bates and illustrated by Curt Swan with inks by Joe Giella and colors by Tatjana Wood, the story follows Clark as a fearless reporter whose growing boldness reignites Lois Lane’s suspicions—until she uncovers the truth through the enigmatic Wizard. The cover, a striking piece by Neal Adams, captures the mystery of a world where Superman is gone, and the fight for identity begins anew.

On Earth-2 in the 1950's, Colonel Future teams with The Wizard to make Superman cease to exist. Clark Kent, with no memory of his career as Superman, continues the fight against crime as a crusading reporter. His new boldness attracts the attention of Lois, and they marry. When Clark does not realize that Captain Future’s gang has made an attempt on his life, Lois begins to suspect again that Clark is Superman. She seeks out the Wizard, who had claimed responsibility for Superman's disappearance. The Wizard restores Superman, who resumes his career, and re-affirms his marriage vows with Lois.
