Superman #13/1974
In "Spiel mit gezinkten Karten : Teil 1 - Dem Joker auf der Spur," Superman is kidnapped by three invisible men and brought to Frank Hardy, a former college classmate whose life was altered by a mysterious psychic device Clark once used on him. Years later, Hardy resents how his groundbreaking work has been overshadowed, and now he's determined to make his mark—on the world, and on the Man of Steel. Written by Cary Bates and illustrated by Curt Swan with inks by Murphy Anderson, this 1974 classic features a striking cover by Jim Aparo.
In this tense three-part tale from Superman #13/1974, the Joker traps Batman in a flooded canal lock, sealing him in as water begins to rise—while Police Chief James Gordon and Burt Slade race to stop the madness before it's too late. With the Joker’s twisted game reaching its terrifying climax, the line between chaos and catastrophe blurs in a race against the rising tide.
In a story from Superman #13 (1974), Superman is kidnapped by three invisible men and brought to Frank Hardy, a former college classmate whose life was irrevocably altered by a forgotten experiment involving a psycho-extractor. Now driven by resentment over being buried in obscurity—his work and name always relegated to page 64—Hardy seeks to make the world see him, even if it means unleashing a dangerous legacy tied to green Kryptonite and a past Clark Kent never knew he’d helped create.
