Superman confronted him only for Bizarro to destroy himself using blue kryptonite. The hero's return was unpleasant, however, as he found Metropolis under attack by Bizarro, who had previously been a peaceful being. Brainiac's body had been destroyed, Lex Luthor was missing, and other villains had been rendered inactive. Lois noted that there was a brief period of peace in which Superman had left Earth.
The story "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow" began in Superman #423 and centered around Lois Lane (now Lois Elliot), as she recalled what caused the Man of Steel's disappearance ten years ago. RELATED: Superman is Vulnerable to Magic - But Not How You Think Legendary Superman artist Curt Swan was brought on to pencil the story and inks were provided by the late George Perez. While having breakfast with Alan Moore, Kupperburg brought up the idea, and Moore jumped at the chance to write the story. He tasked Paul Kupperburg with finding a writer, and the two toyed with the idea of bringing back Superman creator Jerry Siegel (although legal issues prevented this from happening). Julius Schwartz, who was an editor for DC at the time, went into the final issues of Superman and Action Comics under the premise that they would be the Man of Steel's final stories for that era. As the Silver Age was coming to an end, DC felt it was the perfect time to give their characters a blank slate.Ĭrisis on Infinite Earths was to be the last story for many of these Silver Age characters, and a reboot was soon to follow, eliminating decades of prior stories. Stories were getting darker, with tales like The Dark Knight Returns being hailed as the new standard. However, the comic book landscape went through a transformation during the '80s. Characters like Batman and Superman went on many wacky adventures, encountering offbeat characters like Bat-Mite and Mr. The Silver Age was a strange, but exciting time for comic books.
