“Blackout [Part 1]”

In "Blackout [Part 1]," Superman faces a cunning new foe in Mr. Z, who manipulates Professor Hamilton into setting a trap that backfires spectacularly—knocking out Metropolis’s power grid and leaving both hero and villain with amnesia. Written by Dennis Janke and Jerry Ordway, with art by Tom Grummett and inks by Doug Hazlewood, this pivotal issue kicks off a mystery that blurs identity and memory, all under Jerry Ordway’s striking cover.
