The Amazing Story of Superman-Red and Superman-Blue - Part 2
The greatest Superman story of all time!
Previously, in Part I: Clark didn’t get a raise, Superman was split into two versions of himself, and Krypton was unexploded!
Part II - The Anti-Evil Ray
Superman-Red and Superman-Blue are interrupted from the next task on their to-do list (the small matter of, uh, ‘wiping out crime and evil’) by queue-jumping mermaid Lori Lemaris, who insists that the good (mer)folk of Atlantis be given a water planet to live on. “No problem whatsoever,” say the twin, easily distractible, Supermen, who take a couple of pages to sort that out before getting back to work on an anti-evil ray.
Ant testing complete, the pair blanket the Earth with a series of anti-evil ray satellites, ending all wars and altering the minds of ne’er-do-wells, most notably Lex Luthor, who celebrates this brainwashing by pledging his life to science, starting with a cure for baldness! (Oh, and every other disease too.)
Fun With Comics!
MVP
It’s Krypto! Yes, long before he was an adorable good boy star of various trailers, teasers and upcoming Superman movies, Krypton’s finest superdog was always on hand, ready to help Supes with whatever mad scheme he’d come up with. In this case, melting the ice caps of a memorial planet so that it will be covered in water for Atlantean mermaids to go live on. Sure, mate, whatever you say.
Top Panel
After a protracted meeting of the greatest minds of the newly restored planet Krypton, the Kandorian inhabitants tell Superman-Red and Superman-Blue they want to return to their original galaxy, even though it means that they’ll lose their incredible superpowers. “Knew you would!” is the dismissive response of the two Supes, whose know-it-all condescension is really starting to crank up, big time.
