Superman #4/1971
In "Als Witsch nach Smallville kam!", Perry White accidentally consumes an alien fruit that grants him superpowers—only to find himself overtaken by a foreign plant-like consciousness. With his usual authority compromised, Superman turns to his cousin Jo for help, launching a desperate mission to combat the mind-controlled reporter using the rare weapon of white kryptonite. Written by Jerry Coleman and brought to life by Curt Swan’s art with Stan Kaye’s inks, this 1971 adventure features a standout cover by Carmine Infantino and Dick Giordano.
When Charles "Witsch" Kent, the son of Clark Kent’s uncle, arrives in Smallville to visit Jonathan and Martha Kent, Superboy must keep a close eye on him—especially since Witsch seems to know more than he should. But with a sudden windfall of money and a curious interest in Clark’s routines, the boy’s visit quickly turns into a mystery Clark can’t afford to solve alone.
When Perry White accidentally eats an alien fruit, he gains superpowers—only to find his mind now host to a hostile extraterrestrial consciousness. With the Daily Planet in chaos and a dangerous alien mind threatening to take over, Superman calls on his cousin Supergirl to help stop the growing threat. As tensions rise between the city’s heroes and the mysterious force within Perry, even allies like Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Masterman must navigate the unfolding crisis—before Xasnu and Y'Trom’s plan reaches its terrifying conclusion.
