Superman #11/1971
In "Der Super-Bettler von Metropolis," Jimmy Olsen tracks down Superman, only to find the Man of Steel stripped of his confidence—and his powers—after feeling obsolete in an increasingly automated world. As his sense of purpose wanes, a sudden fire and the loss of friends force him to confront the true source of his strength. Written by Leo Dorfman and brought to life by Curt Swan’s art and Murphy Anderson’s inks, with a striking cover by Carmine Infantino, this 1971 tale explores Superman’s vulnerability in a way that’s both poignant and deeply human.
When Superman and Clark Kent vanish under mysterious circumstances, the people of Metropolis are left searching for answers. With Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Rob Fletcher piecing together clues, a strange new figure emerges—one who claims to be the last hope of a city in crisis.
When Jimmy Olsen tracks down Superman, the Man of Steel reveals a startling secret: his powers have vanished—not from injury, but from a deepening sense of worthlessness in an increasingly mechanized world. As the weight of his perceived uselessness grows, a sudden fire and the loss of close friends force him to confront the true source of his strength.
