“Superman, King of Earth!”

In "Superman, King of Earth!", a dose of Red Kryptonite once again fractures Clark Kent into two distinct personalities—Clark, the humble reporter, and Superman, now a domineering tyrant who demands to be crowned king of the world, threatening the United Nations with his power. Fearing the consequences, Clark must secretly organize an underground resistance to stop his own evil counterpart. Written by Leo Dorfman and illustrated with iconic precision by Curt Swan, with inks by George Klein and letters by Joe Letterese, this 1964 classic features cover art by Curt Swan and Sheldon Moldoff.
