Synopsis for "The Phantom Superboy"

 

A cache of Kryptonian weapons, including a Phantom Zone Projector, falls to Earth. Superboy learns of the Phantom Zone’s existence and how Kryptonian criminals were sent into it by a mental playback device in a helmet from the weapons cache. A lizard accidentally triggers the projector and sends Superboy into the Phantom Zone, but he manages to telekinetically write a message to Jonathan Kent on an electric typewriter. Jonathan finds the projector and releases Superboy from the Zone.

GLWTS.

 

Interesting thing is that Zod was really an obscure secondary or even tertiary villain/character in the DC universe until Richard Donner came along with Superman/Superman II. The character had only appeared in a handful of books as a minor character until about 1977 when he did a small arc story in action 471-472-473 with the debut of Faora.

 

Terrance Stamps' performance was awesome in those movies and brought the character to the forefront. Michael Shannon's performance will only help cement his longevity in other media as well as there is just something about watching Superman go against foes that can really push him physically.

Agreed - I picked up a few mid-grade copies of it within the last couple years. One of the few times I have bought a book at the right time

If a 9.4 were to come to market, I wonder what it would sell for.
