Byrne's WORLD OF Krypton, Smallville, & Metropolis (PLUS! Superman #1)

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 (https://www.awyeahcomics.com/) ) returns to shine a spotlight on 1986's SUPERMAN #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!
