Justice League of America #133
In "Missing — One Man of Steel!", Superman finds himself trapped on the alien planet Sirkus, where a filmmaker has orchestrated a surreal spectacle—convincing the Man of Steel he’s battling alongside his Justice League comrades against the menacing Despero, all as part of a staged production. Written by Gerry Conway and brought to life with dynamic art by Dick Dillin and Frank McLaughlin, this 1976 adventure blends sci-fi intrigue with a clever twist on heroism. The cover, by Ernie Chan, captures the moment’s tension with striking detail.
