Superman #5/1976
In "Der Hammer des Lex Luthor," a vengeful criminal uses a face-swapping device to impersonate Clark Kent, aiming to assassinate Superman during a public ceremony. Written by Cary Bates and brought to life by Curt Swan’s art with inks by Tex Blaisdell, this 1976 issue delivers a tense, personal showdown where Superman must protect both his identity and his secret. The dramatic cover by Nick Cardy captures the moment of confrontation, a striking visual that perfectly frames the story’s high-stakes deception.
