In Action Comics #560, Superman faces a mysterious new threat in "Meet John Doe!"—a fugitive with sonic-blaster cuffs and unexplained memory lapses, all tied to the enigmatic influence of The Monitor. Written by Paul Kupperberg and brought to life by Alex Saviuk’s dynamic art, with Dave Hunt’s inks and Gene D’Angelo’s colors, the issue blends psychological tension with classic superhero action. The cover, by Keith Giffen and Bob Oksner, captures the eerie mystery of the unknown man who walks among us.

In "Meet John Doe!", Superman faces a mysterious fugitive named John Doe, a man with no past and a sonic-blaster-cuff powered by The Monitor, who keeps slipping into sudden, unexplained lapses of memory. As the Man of Steel tracks a criminal with no identity, he’s forced to question whether the man’s amnesia is a cover—or something far more unsettling.
