Superman #183
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Case of the Funny Paper Crimes," Superman finds himself stranded on a red sun planet where his powers are gone, forcing him to rely on wit and deception to keep the truth hidden from the Planet staff he's stranded with. Written by Robert Bernstein and illustrated by Wayne Boring with inks by Stan Kaye, this 1966 adventure sees the Man of Steel faking super feats in the jungle while grappling with his vulnerability. The cover, by Curt Swan and George Klein, captures the surreal tension of the moment.
In "Case of the Funny Paper Crimes," Superman faces a bizarre new threat when a mysterious villain uses a strange machine to pull two-dimensional comic book characters from the pages and send them into the real world to commit crimes. With Lois Lane, Perry White, and Sgt. Casey caught in the chaos, Superman must track down the source of the madness before the entire city becomes a living comic strip.
In "Clark Kent's College Days," a young Clark Kent navigates university life while grappling with the secret of his identity, all under the watchful eye of Professor Thaddeus V. Maxwell. The professor, determined to prove Clark Kent's connection to Superboy, puts him through a polygraph test that hinges on a simple question—forcing Clark to confront how he sees himself, not just as a student, but as a hero.
When Superman loses his powers after being magically transported to a red sun planet, the usual heroics are replaced by a tense game of deception—Clark Kent must convince Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Perry White that he’s still in control, even as he struggles to keep up with the dangers of the alien world.
When Clark Kent and Lois Lane head to the movies and find the feature is the latest Fleischer Superman cartoon, Clark must think fast to keep Lois from realizing he’s the Man of Steel—especially when the animated version of Superman takes center stage. With the animated Lois Lane and a mischievous animated Mad Scientist stirring up trouble on screen, Clark’s cover is in serious jeopardy.
