“Superman, You'll Be the Death of Me Yet!”

In Action Comics #460, Superman faces a chilling new threat: a super-powered alien whose illness drives him to madness in the hero’s presence. Misidentifying Steve Lombard as the Man of Steel, the alien’s growing instability sets off a tense confrontation that tests Superman’s resolve like never before. Written by Cary Bates and brought to life by Curt Swan’s iconic art, with inks by Tex Blaisdell and letters by Ben Oda, this 1976 classic features a cover by Bob Oksner that captures the moment’s escalating dread.
