#LeyendoSupermanDesde1938 #LeyendoSupermanGoldenAge 📌 242. 💥Superman #53 🗨️ "El origen de Superman" 🗨️ "El oráculo de Metrópolis" 🗨️ "Un trabajo para Superhombre" 📝 Guión: Bill Finger / Alvin Schwartz / Don Cameron 🎨 Dibujo: Wayne Boring / Al Plastino 📆 Fecha: Julio 1948 🏃 Etapa: Golden Age 🪙 📚 Leído en: "Superman #53" 🏆 Calificación: 2/5 ⭐⭐ 💭 Aprovechando el décimo aniversario de Superman, se aprovecha para recontar la historia de su origen sin grandes novedades. Se amplía ligeramente la historia de la desaparición de Krypton, la estancia de Clark en el orfanato (en esta versión de la Golden Age que luego se renombraría a Tierra 2), y John Kent le dice unas últimas palabras de inspiración a Clark en su lecho de muerte, para empujarle a ser Superman.
