Action Comics #7
In "Superman Joins the Circus," a daring pilot named Tex finds himself mistaken for the notorious Captain Diablo—his identical twin—after a mid-air collision forces his plane down. With his reputation on the line and fingerprints damning him, Tex takes a bold step: he joins the government forces to clear his name and bring the real Diablo to justice. Written by Ken Fitch and brought to life with dynamic art by Bernard Baily, this early Superman tale blends espionage and identity with a touch of circus flair, all rendered in the iconic style of Joe Shuster on the cover.

In order to capture Diablo and dispel any suspicion on himself (fingerprints don't lie), Tex joins the government forces.
