Written, illustrated and inked by Cary Bates, Curt Swan and George Roussos, respectively, it was the last storyline edited by Mort Weisinger, and his Superman's swan song before Julius Schwartz's took over and greenlighted Kryptonite Nevermore, the storyline which defined the next era for the character.Superman needs to travel to the far future to answer a distress call, but he cannot fly into the timestream because he would be disrupting an important scientific experiment. Unwilling to wait until the next day, Superman uses a defective Legion Time Bubble to travel to the year 101,970. When he arrives in the future, he realizes that the defective time machine has caused him to grow old.After helping the people who sent the call, Superman tries to go back to the past, but something is blocking the timestream. Superman cannot return to his own time, so he is forced to go on towards the future, finding increasingly strange worlds as feeling the burden and the loneliness of having outlived everyone he loved.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })
