Superman #14/1972
In "Der König ist tot!", Superboy is summoned to a sealed steel container that won’t open—inside, an elderly man claiming to be Jules Verne presents a startling claim. With the young hero convinced by the man’s uncanny knowledge of the future, the revelation quickly turns into a high-stakes test of trust and judgment. Written by Leo Dorfman and illustrated by Bob Brown, with inks by Murphy Anderson, the story unfolds with quiet tension, while Curt Swan’s cover captures the mystery in bold, classic style.
In a tense night at the theater, Batgirl joins her father James Gordon and friend Jason Bard for a screening of *The Steppfather*, a film about criminal power struggles—until the performance turns deadly when a staged assassination becomes real, and Floyd Marcus is killed. As the city reels, Batgirl takes up the investigation, navigating a web of suspicion among those present, including Guy Townes, Blimp Larry, and Mike Marcus.
