☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Half a Superman!", a mysterious comet showering Red Kryptonite particles splits Superman down the middle—his left side weakened, while Krypto's right side becomes oddly fragile. On a day when Lois Lane is determined to prove Superman's true identity, the strange split puts both hero and dog in a precarious situation. Penciled by Curt Swan and inked by George Klein, with lettering by Joe Letterese, the cover by Swan and Schaffenberger captures the moment’s tension.
When Red Kryptonite from a passing comet temporarily weakens Superman’s left side—and Krypto’s right side—Clark finds himself in a tricky situation on the very day Lois sets out to prove his dual identity. With his powers uneven and his secret hanging in the balance, even a simple day at the Daily Planet becomes a high-stakes test of disguise and timing.
