“Must There Be a Superman?”

In "Must There Be a Superman?", Superman faces a rare philosophical challenge when the Guardians of the Universe question whether his presence is holding humanity back. As he grapples with their words, he finds himself drawn into the struggles of a migrant camp, confronting the real-world complexities of helping others. Written by Elliot Maggin and brought to life by Curt Swan’s iconic art, with inks by Murphy Anderson and lettering by John Costanza, this 1972 classic features cover art by Swan and Anderson.
