“The Shape of Fear!”

In "The Shape of Fear!", Superman grapples with a disturbing mental fracture that threatens to unravel his very identity, even as he regains his strength with I-Ching's guidance. With the help of Diana Prince, he confronts a mysterious force that may be feeding on his mind, leading to a desperate attempt to siphon his powers—again—to restore balance. Written by Denny O'Neil and brought to life by Curt Swan's art, Murphy Anderson's inks, and Ben Oda's lettering, this 1971 classic features a striking cover by Neal Adams and Dick Giordano.
