Superman #126
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "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.
In a twist of identity and mystery, Superman—struggling to reclaim his past—assumes the guise of Clarence Kelvin and begins working at the Daily Planet, where he must navigate the daily grind while searching for clues to his true self. With the enigmatic Professor Blake watching closely, the line between hero and ordinary man blurs in this classic tale of memory, disguise, and the quiet power of self-discovery.
In "The Spell of the Shandu Clock," Superman, posing as a man under the spell of an ancient and mysterious timepiece, tricks the Fallon Gang into believing he’s powerless—while secretly using the ruse to outwit them. With Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Perry White watching from the sidelines, the Man of Steel turns the tables on the gang’s latest scheme, proving that even the most enchanted trap can’t stop a hero with a clear mind.
In "The Two Faces of Superman!", Superman finds himself caught between identities when Lois Lane’s sharp wit lands her in trouble with a mysterious figure who claims to be the real Alfred E. Neuman—complete with a Mad magazine-style mask. As Clark Kent tries to sort out the truth behind the prank, Lois must confront her own role in the chaos, all while a young man named Chet Hartley watches the scene unfold with growing curiosity.
