In "Bauern," Superman faces a chilling threat as Dr. Freeman struggles to break free from a parasitic entity that drains his powers, leaving him dangerously vulnerable. Written by David Michelinie and Frank Neubauer, with bold artwork by Gil Kane and inks by Denis Rodier, this 1997 issue delivers a tense, body-horror-tinged showdown. The cover by Kieron Dwyer and Denis Rodier captures the eerie, claustrophobic dread of the struggle.

In "Der Parasit!", Superman faces a terrifying new threat as the Parasite, Dr. Torval Freeman, struggles to break free from his own body while simultaneously draining Superman's powers in a brutal, near-total takeover. With Lois Lane and Perry White caught in the crossfire and even Lex Luthor's schemes momentarily eclipsed by the chaos, the Man of Steel must fight not just for his strength, but for his very identity.
