“The Trial of Superman!”

Superman sits in the defendant's chair in full costume, facing a courtroom dilemma that could unravel everything — a prosecutor brandishes Clark Kent's suit and glasses as "Exhibit A," accusing the Man of Steel of murder, while a judge looks on from the bench and press observers watch from the gallery. The cover dialogue lays out the impossible trap with wonderful Silver Age ingenuity: proving his innocence means revealing his secret identity. Curt Swan and George Klein deliver a gripping courtroom tableau for this June 1963 issue, which also promises a bonus Supergirl and Super-Horse surprise adventure inside.
