Superman #15
In "The Cop Who Was Ruined," Superman #15 (1942) delivers a poignant tale of justice and hardship, spotlighting Sgt. Branigan—a fallen officer blinded in a clash with mobsters and now struggling to rebuild his life after being wrongfully dismissed. Written by Jerry Siegel and illustrated by Leo Nowak, the story follows Lois and Clark as they stand by Branigan, who faces new threats when the same criminals he fought demand protection money from his struggling new venture. The cover, by Fred Ray, captures the weight of the moment with striking clarity.
