of the planet Kazhann are plunderers whose religion is art.
The Superior Shaan orders the remains of the rebel Sloan
uncovered and brought to him. A woman penetrates the train
transporting the corpse, and revives Sloane. Sloane vows to
vanquish the Emperor. The woman says her name is Legend,
mistress of the "Guild of Voice," a singer. Legend saves
Sloane from madness. She explains that the funeral train
they are riding is the Emperor's mental projection of
Mozart's Requiem, and that she got in by knowing codes and
songs taught to her by her father. The Blue Barons learn
that Sloane is alive, and determine to help him by
rebelling against the Emperor Shaan. One of the Barons'
warriors, named Vuzz, salutes Sloane and pledges his aid.
Shaan attacks, and reveals that he is what Sloane himself
will become after 300 years. Sloane denies this, and says
there are alternate futures. Legend attacks, and the evil
is defeated. The Blue Barons present Sloane with his
reconstructed ship, O Siddharta. Sloane is reunited with
Vuzz and Yearl. -- Call no.: PN6747.D7C4713 2000

penciller, Curt Swan ; inker, Josef Rubinstein ; letterer,

Schwartz. 8 p. in Superman, no. 408 (June 1985) -- Summary
(by Mary Walker): Superman finds a large intergenerational
ship with a war raging on board most of the vessel while
the control center seems at peace. He finds that the
navigational caste has no idea of what is going on in the
rest of the ship and little contact except in emergencies.
Superman then goes to the main areas of the ship to stop
the war. The combatants stop long enough to explain that
they have "divided into nations according to our various
races and religions. Differences inevitably lead to
conflict!" and then resume their fighting. He wishes they
could be persuaded to work together as they did in building
the ship in the first place--that thought gives him an
idea. He sends the ship to a suitable, uninhabited planet
and they disembark taking their personal belongings and the
useful machinery but leaving the weapons behind. A pleased
Superman looks on at the aliens who have put violence and
hate aside to make a new civilization. -- Call no.:
