Superman #198
Outside the Daily Planet city room, a bearded, chained man points an X-ray gun at Clark Kent — and the beam cuts right through his suit to reveal the unmistakable Superman insignia beneath, while a horrified bystander looks on. Curt Swan and George Klein's cover for Superman #198 (1967) delivers a genuinely clever premise: someone claiming to be the real Clark Kent is about to blow the Man of Steel's most carefully guarded secret wide open. With a story by Cary Bates and art by Al Plastino, this is a fun slice of Silver Age DC at its most imaginatively paranoid.
