In "Poisoned Love!", Clark Kent’s world takes a delightfully absurd turn when a coworker stumbles upon his secret closet filled with Superman costumes—only to have the entire collection mysteriously replaced with Hostess Fruit Pies by the Man of Steel himself. A lighthearted, perfectly timed prank from the iconic duo of Curt Swan and Vince Colletta, with Dick Giordano’s sharp, expressive cover capturing the moment’s chaotic charm.
