Superman #26/1975
In "Der Mörder im Burnus," Superman faces a test not of strength, but of trust, as a group of rejected individuals challenges the elite Legion of Super-Heroes. Written by Jim Shooter and illustrated by Mike Grell, this 1975 issue explores what it truly means to be a hero—where teamwork matters more than power. The cover, by Ernie Chua, captures the tension of a moment that could redefine the Legion’s future.
In "Der Mörder im Burnus," Batman and Robin find themselves helpless as the enigmatic der Scheich commits three murders before their eyes, each act cloaked in mystery and precision. With Alfred Pennyworth at the manor and allies like Frederick Goforth and Oliver Hopkins caught in the web, the Dark Knight must unravel the riddle of the masked killer’s motives—before the next victim falls.
When a group of rejected candidates challenges the Legion’s elite, claiming they’re just as capable as the established heroes, the test comes down to more than strength or endurance. In the heat of competition, the true spirit of the Legion is put to the trial—can teamwork, trust, and unity overcome raw power? With Magnoboy, Saturngirl, Phantomgirl, and Superboy among those tested, the stakes rise as the line between rival and comrade begins to blur.
