In "Superman's Hunt for Clark Kent!", a forgotten Superman awakens with no memory of who he is, only to assume the identity of Clarence Kelvin and take a job at the Daily Planet—where he's both a stranger and a familiar face. Written by Otto Binder and illustrated by Wayne Boring, with inks by Stan Kaye and colors by Jack Adler, this 1959 classic sees the Man of Steel unraveling his own past in plain sight. The cover by Curt Swan and Stan Kaye captures the mystery with a striking image of Superman, unsure of himself, staring at his reflection.
