Host Anthony Desiato and guest Duncan Bennett dig into a trilogy of miniseries written by John Byrne and released across 1988:
- “World of Krypton” with Mike Mignola, which detailed Krypton’s clone wars;
- “World of Smallville” with Kurt Schaffenberger, which revealed Martha Kent’s first marriage and Lana Lang’s manipulation by the Manhunters; and
- “World of Metropolis” with Win Mortimer, which showed the early city days of Perry White, Lois Lane, Clark Kent, and Jimmy Olsen.
BUT FIRST! In the opening segment, Sweet-Sweet Bernie Gerstmayr (Aw Yeah Comics – Skokie) returns to shine a spotlight on 1986’s “Superman” no.1 by John Byrne, featuring the Post-Crisis debut of Metallo.
AND NEXT WEEK: Year One of Byrne’s tenure on the main Super-titles!
