From 1977 comes this genuinely gripping chapter in Superman's history, with a cover by penciler Dick Dillin and inker Neal Adams that poses an unforgettable moral dilemma. The art places Superman — cape billowing, expression tense — squaring off against a massive, green-clad villain looming overhead, while a frightened civilian boy pleads, "Please don't, Superman! You've never killed anyone!" — to which the Man of Steel grimly replies, "Sorry, kid… this time I must!" The cover's bold question — "Why is Superman forced to break his code against killing?" — makes it impossible to set this one back on the shelf.
