Superman Taschenbuch #45
In "Kraken auf Kriegsfuß!", Superman faces a rare challenge when a heroic rescue at the Temple of Abu Simbel inadvertently opens a rift between Earths, allowing Black Adam from Earth II to cross over. With Billy Batson of Earth I in danger and the Man of Steel locked in battle, the arrival of Shazam from the alternate world brings a surprising twist to the confrontation. Written by Roy Thomas and Paul Kupperberg, with dynamic art by Rich Buckler and inks by John Calnan, and colored by Gene D'Angelo, this 1982 issue features a striking cover by Gil Kane and Frank Giacoia.
In the quiet solitude of his Fortress of Solitude, Superman finds his peace shattered when the Parasite attacks. As he battles the invader, he realizes that Agent Cory Renwald is secretly investigating Clark Kent’s whereabouts—adding a personal mystery to the already tense confrontation.
Brainstorm has devised a devilish scheme, manipulating Jimmy Olsen into uncovering Superman’s secret identity—his ultimate goal: to steal the Man of Steel’s powers. With Lois Lane, Perry White, and Jennifer Owens caught in the web of deception, even Superman himself may not be safe from the mind games unfolding in Metropolis.
When Jimmy Olsen picks Clark Kent as his unlikely target in a high-stakes prank, he unknowingly walks into a trap set by the real Superman—whose mind is already racing ahead to outwit the cunning Brainstorm. With Lois Lane watching closely and Perry White just a phone call away, the line between joke and danger blurs as Clark Kent and his alter ego play a game of wits that could unravel more than just a scheme.
When Superman inadvertently shifts the Temple of Abu Simbel during a rescue, Black Adam from Earth II slips through to Earth I, threatening Billy Batson and forcing a clash with the Man of Steel. With help from the Shazam of Earth II, they must outwit the villain before his power brings chaos to both worlds.
