World of Krypton #1

Dec 1987 · DC · 0.75 USD; 1.00 CAD; 0.40 GBP
“Pieces”

In "Pieces," John Byrne’s gripping tale unfolds on Krypton with a chilling act of familial betrayal: Nyra, a powerful figure in Kryptonian society, selects one of her own clones as a bride for her son Kan-Z. The moment Kan-Z accepts her, the choice ignites a devastating chain of violence that shatters the planet’s peace, setting off a war that will echo for a millennium. Mike Mignola’s striking interior art, paired with John Byrne’s sharp storytelling and Walter Simonson’s intense cover, captures the weight of a civilization’s collapse born from a single, fateful decision.
