Superman #16/1978
In "Ist's ein Vogel... ein Flugzeug... nein, es ist Supermobil", Superman must rely on his newly revealed Supermobil—equipped with powers mirroring his own—to defend himself against the relentless Amazo, who holds Professor Ivo hostage and forces him into a deadly ultimatum. Written by Cary Bates and brought to life with classic precision by artists Curt Swan, Frank Chiaramonte, and Jerry Serpe, this 1978 issue showcases a high-stakes battle of wits and strength, with José Luis García-López’s dynamic cover capturing the moment of crisis.
In a high-stakes showdown, Superman races to protect Professor Ivo from the rampaging Amazo, using his Supermobil—a vehicle with powers mirroring his own—to fend off the android’s relentless assault. Trapped in a deadly game, Superman must choose between freeing the scientist or watching his friends like Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Wundergirl fall to Amazo’s wrath.
In a story where cosmic romance meets grounded heroics, a dying red mini-sun with consciousness finds itself drawn to Lois Lane—only to realize her heart belongs to Superman. Meanwhile, Lois and Kanonenkugel continue their cat-and-mouse game with a gangster determined to silence them, while the new hero Dave Stevens grapples with the truth that even his powers can’t compete with the man in the red cape.
