☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "This Planet Is Condemned," Superboy teams up with Alec and Shanna as they use TRS-80 computers to help Superman manage his increasingly unstable powers—just as Major Disaster strikes. Written by Cary Bates and illustrated by Jim Starlin, with inks by Dick Giordano and letters by Ben Oda, this 1980 DC adventure blends emerging tech with superhero tension. The cover by Ross Andru and Kurt Schaffenberger captures the high-stakes clash in bold, dynamic style.
In "This Planet Is Condemned," Superboy finds himself trapped in a desperate dilemma when alien inhabitants deceive his friend Bash Bashford, making him believe he was adopted to lure the young hero to their dying world. With his Kryptonian physiology the only thing shielding them from deadly ambient radiation, Superboy must stay—or risk the entire planet’s population perishing. As tensions rise, even the unwavering support of Martha and Jonathan Kent can’t ease the weight of his impossible choice.
When Superman's powers grow too unpredictable to manage, Alec and Shanna turn to their TRS-80 computers in a race against time to help him regain control—just as Major Disaster strikes, testing both hero and technology in ways no one saw coming.
