Superman #26/1976
In "Das Todesprisma des Parasiten," Batman takes on a desperate mission when Debbie Manton is kidnapped, promising her parents he’ll find her. Tracked to a deadly trap, he’s struck by a mysterious energy that throws his mind into chaos—only for scientist Ray Palmer, present at the hospital where Batman is treated, to notice something far more unsettling. With Jim Aparo’s intense artwork and Bob Haney’s gripping script, this 1976 issue delivers a chilling blend of psychological suspense and scientific mystery, all anchored by Curt Swan’s iconic cover and Bob Oksner’s sharp inks.
In "Das Todesprisma des Parasiten," Superman faces a chilling new threat when the enigmatic Der Parasit unleashes a sinister device capable of siphoning his powers—turning the very light of S.T.A.R.-Labs into a weapon of mass destabilization. As the prism's rays fracture through Metropolis, ordinary citizens like Jon Ross and Eddie Foil are caught in its deadly glow, awakening dangerous strength and a sudden, violent hatred toward the Man of Steel. With Lois Lane and Dr. Jenet Klyburn racing to uncover the truth, the city teeters on the edge of chaos—where even the most innocent may become the next enemy.
When Debbie Manton vanishes, Batman vows to find her — but his investigation leads him straight into a deadly trap. Left unconscious and with his mind thrown into chaos, he's hospitalized, where the scientist Ray Palmer, known as the Atom, makes a startling discovery. With the Manton family desperate and the police chief James Gordon on the case, Palmer devises a daring plan to uncover the truth behind the abduction.
In a mind-bending twist of science and stealth, Atom shrinks to microscopic size and infiltrates Batman’s brain, using precise neural manipulation to take control of his body from within—his mission: track down Debbie Manton and solve Batman’s final case, all while the Dark Knight’s consciousness fights to reclaim his own mind.
