“Two for the Death of One!”

In "Two for the Death of One!", Superman faces a shocking twist when he's abducted mid-crisis by the sorcerer Lord Satanis, who reveals an ancient magical war with Syrene. As Satanis attempts to steal Superman's powers, the clash of their magic splits the Man of Steel into two distinct versions of himself—each grappling with the same mission, but with divergent fates. Marv Wolfman’s gripping script and Curt Swan’s iconic art bring this surreal, high-stakes moment to life, with Ross Andru and Dick Giordano’s dynamic cover capturing the chaos.
