“When Stars Collide!”

In "When Stars Collide!", Clark Kent’s mind goes blank after witnessing a cosmic collision, leaving him vulnerable to a clever con artist who convinces him he’s the notorious criminal Muscles Moony. Posing as Superman, he’s drawn into a gang war—unaware of his true identity or the truth behind the stars. Written by Don C. Cameron and illustrated by Ira Yarbrough, with a cover by Jack Burnley, this 1943 classic blends sci-fi wonder with a mind-bending twist.
