Superman #16/1967
In "Der Junge, der im Dunkeln sehen konnte," Superman grapples with lingering doubts about his secret identity and seeks the help of Batman and Robin. Together, the trio uses a mysterious encephalographic device in a test to prove who Superman truly is—before the truth slips beyond control. Written by Edmond Hamilton and illustrated by Curt Swan, with inks by Sheldon Moldoff, the cover by Curt Swan and George Klein captures the tension of a mystery that stretches beyond the veil of identity.
In a quiet moment of heroism, Supergirl saves a boy from drowning—only to find him again in a distant orphanage, where he quietly knows her secret. When the boy, Johnny Jonas, reveals he’s from another world and in danger, Supergirl must protect him from a sinister plot led by the treacherous Premieminister Zoxxo.
In a rare moment of doubt, Superman worries that his secret identity might be exposed and turns to Batman and Robin for help. With the aid of a mysterious encephalographic device, the dynamic duo sets out to prove once and for all who Superman truly is—testing the limits of identity, trust, and the bond between heroes.
