In "Rätsel auf Leben und Tod," a deranged scientist creates a flawed clone from a single cell of Supergirl, resulting in a male entity without any understanding of right or wrong. Written by Cary Bates and illustrated by Art Saaf with inks by Vince Colletta, this 1975 issue explores the tragic dilemma of a being forced to choose between his creator and his genetic twin—only to end his own life in the process. The cover, by Ernie Chua, captures the story’s haunting tone.
