In "The Clark Kent Monster!", Superman's well-intentioned attempt to make amends with Mark Mulloy—after mining gold from his land—leads to a series of increasingly absurd and literal interpretations of Mulloy's six requested tasks. Written by Robert Bernstein and brought to life with Curt Swan's crisp art and John Giunta's inks, this 1968 classic finds the Man of Steel navigating the fine print of a bargain with comedic consequences. The cover by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito captures the story’s quirky tone perfectly.

In "The Clark Kent Monster!", Superman faces a terrifying threat when an alien supermind steals a fragment of his brain to create a monstrous, super-powered duplicate of Clark Kent—driven by the same desire to destroy the Man of Steel.

In "Part II: A Menace Named Clark Kent!", Superman faces a terrifying threat when an alien supermind steals a fragment of his brain to craft a hyper-powered clone of Clark Kent—driven to destroy the very hero whose identity it mimics. With Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen caught in the crossfire, and Perry White struggling to maintain order at the Daily Planet, the line between hero and imposter blurs as the man in the suit battles a version of himself that’s more dangerous than any foe he’s known.

In "The Super-Servant of Crime," Superman finds himself bound by a literal agreement to serve Mark Mulloy, the owner of gold-rich land, after mining without permission. With each task Mulloy assigns, the hero’s strict interpretation of the terms backfires in ways that leave the villain frustrated—and the Daily Planet’s Perry White and the ever-watchful Baldy wondering just how far this bizarre arrangement will go.
