Superman #211

This November 1968 DC issue presents a tense cover by Curt Swan (pencils) and Jack Abel (inks): a bespectacled Clark Kent sits bound to a chair while a red-suited villain looms over a control panel, threatening to unleash 100,000 volts — all while Superman himself stands just to the left, powerless to intervene without exposing the secret the villain has already guessed. The story is billed as "The Name of the Game Is — Superman!", making the dual identity at its heart impossible to miss. Inside, writer Frank Robbins and artist Ross Andru (inked by Mike Esposito) deliver what promises to be a sharp, suspense-driven adventure from one of the Man of Steel's most entertaining Silver Age runs.
