Superman #21/1973
In "Halb Super, halb Fisch," Superboy finally obtains the serum that could return him to normal—but the treatment leaves him with a troubling memory gap, erasing his recollection of his time underwater. Written by Leo Dorfman and illustrated by Bob Brown with inks by Murphy Anderson, this 1973 tale explores the cost of identity with quiet urgency. The cover, a striking portrait by Nick Cardy, captures the moment of uncertainty with a blend of wonder and unease.
In "Beute der Seewölfe," Superboy finds himself caught in a tense standoff as the mad scientist Harkon unleashes sea wolves upon him and the mysterious mermaid Yorel, forcing the young hero to rely on his parents, Jonathan and Martha Kent, for guidance through a telepathic link. With Atlantis looming as both a threat and a mystery, Superboy must navigate the dangers beneath the waves—where every shadow could be a predator, and every current hides a secret.
Superboy races against time to retrieve a serum that could restore him to normal, but the cure comes at a cost—his memories of life beneath the waves now vanish like mist. With only fragments of his past left, he must piece together who he was before the depths claimed him, even as old allies and enemies from Atlantis stir in the shadows.
