“Half a Superman!”

In "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.
