Superman #3/1969
In "Die unsichtbaren Rätsel des Mr. Sphinx!", Superman faces a chilling test of loyalty when a young man he once helped, now grown into a figure of menace, is sent to kill him on orders from a supposed father figure. Written by Jerry Siegel and brought to life with Curt Swan’s iconic art and John Forte’s inks, this 1969 tale explores identity and redemption in a story where the true challenge lies not in strength, but in recognizing the truth behind the mask. The cover, by Irv Novick, captures the tension of a moment poised between destiny and doubt.
In a twist of fate, Superman faces his own creation—Super-Schuft, a being grown from his own power and twisted by the influence of Wolf and Bonnie Derek. As the young man raised on Kryptonian ideals stands poised to destroy the hero who once was his father, a moment of clarity threatens to unravel everything.
