CoronaVirus Comics ACTION COMICS "Superman Lives!"

When Last We Saw the Doomed Man of Steel...

...infected by an incurable, extremely-contagious disease, the Man of Steel is being transported to the hottest star in the universe in order to assure his contaminated body's destruction...

What's going on?

Did Superman end up in some alternate universe?

Is this guy an imposter?

If so, why is the legendary Caped Crusader working with him?

The answers to these, and many other questions can be found on this blog...

TUESDAY

...as this storyline concludes!

(Hint: page 1 offers a bit of a spoiler...)

BTW, as happy as I am to see the Caped Kryptonian alive, his theory about the White Kryptonite is wrong!

Bacteria are single-celled organisms, neither flora (plant) nor fauna (animal)!

But, if you ignore that minor glitch, this never-reprinted conclusion of a multi-issue story arc from DC's Action Comics #366 (1968) makes perfect sense, so let's just go with it...

CoronaVirus Comics ACTION COMICS "Superman's Funeral!" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

...infected by an incurable (and incredibly-contagious) disease engineered by Lex Luthor, the dying Kal-El hurtles in a pre-programmed spacecraft towards Flammbron, a sun hot enough to incinerate his normally-invulnerable body to prevent contaminating anybody else!

During the flight, his life flashes before his eyes...

Did you figure out the secret?

Or will you have to wait until

Next Monday?

(At least you won't have to wait a month, as readers of DC's Action Comics #365 [1968] did!)

We'll give you a clue...

Superman's not on the cover...except as a memorial!

CoronaVirus Comics ACTION COMICS "Superman's Funeral!" Part 1

When Last We Left the Dying Son of Krypton...

...and remember, this was in-continuity pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths!

Guess the whole "life flashing before your eyes" phenomenon isn't limited to humans...

We interrupt this touching look back at Kal-El's life and loves for just 24 hours.

Just be here...

Tuesday!

CoronaVirus Comics SUPERMAN "Untouchable of Metropolis!" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

...infected by a Kryptonian/Terran hybrid disease that kills both humans and Kryptonians, Superman must exile himself in space before he dies and his corpse contaminates the Earth!

However, Lex Luthor, who combined the two pathogens into a "super-virus" offers a cure...for a price...
