In "The Kryptonite Killer!", Supergirl grapples with jealousy when Comet seems to favor movie star Liz Gaynor over her, but Superman uncovers a startling twist: Comet has lost his memory and no longer recalls his own powers—or even Supergirl. Written by Leo Dorfman and illustrated by Jim Mooney, this 1962 classic features Curt Swan’s dynamic cover and George Klein’s crisp inks, blending superhero drama with a touch of personal mystery.
