World's Finest Comics #221
In "Cry Not for My Forsaken Son!", the super-sons—Superman, Jr. and Batman, Jr.—cross paths with Danny Orr, a teen grappling with the shock of learning his father is not who he thought. When Danny’s real father, Mark King, sends him to a remote emerald mine in Central America, the trio uncovers a truth far more complicated than they expected. Written by Bob Haney and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Dick Dillin and Murphy Anderson, this 1974 tale blends family drama and mystery, with Nick Cardy’s striking cover capturing the emotional weight of the moment.
