“The Confessions of Superman!”

In "The Confessions of Superman!", Superman faces his greatest internal crisis yet when the Superman Revenge Squad frames him for crimes against the U.S., exploiting a twist of Red Kryptonite to make him doubt himself. Written by Leo Dorfman and brought to life with Curt Swan’s iconic art and George Roussos’s inks, this 1969 classic sees the Man of Steel on the brink, contemplating the unthinkable—losing his powers by exposing himself to Gold Kryptonite. The cover, by Curt Swan and Murphy Anderson, captures the weight of his dilemma in a moment of quiet, desperate resolve.
