“Think Young and Die!”

In "Think Young and Die!", Superman faces a shocking twist when he too is de-aged, joining a younger Flash and Batman in a battle against a smug Lex Luthor who believes youth means weakness. Written by Cary Bates and brought to life with Curt Swan’s dynamic art and Tex Blaisdell’s sharp inks, this 1976 classic sees the Man of Steel tested in a way he’s never been before. The cover by Ernie Chan and Bob Oksner captures the high-stakes tension of a hero out of his depth.
