“The Fight for the Right to Be Superman!”

In "The Fight for the Right to Be Superman!", a former wrestler named Moe Ramboe—whose claim to the name predates the Man of Steel—challenges the real Superman in a showdown that's less about strength and more about legacy. Written by Paul Kupperberg and brought to life with dynamic art by Irv Novick, this 1985 issue explores identity, recognition, and what it truly means to wear the cape, all under the bold cover by Ed Hannigan and Klaus Janson.
