Superman #5/1979
In "Tödliches Roulette," Lois und Clark enjoy a romantic drive in their new car—only for a stolen radio to set off a high-stakes race against time. Superman scans the city from above, desperate to recover the vehicle before the thieves uncover its hidden recording, which could expose his secret. Written by Cary Bates and illustrated by Kurt Schaffenberger, with inks by Frank Giacoia and colors by Adrienne Roy, this 1979 tale blends everyday tension with superhero stakes. The cover, by Jim Aparo, captures the moment just before the storm breaks.
In "Tödliches Roulette," Batman—disguised as Bruce Wayne—investigates a string of sudden financial collapses tied to a dangerous roulette obsession, as the infamous Totenkopf Bande resurfaces. With Polizeichef Jim Gordon and Alfred Pennyworth at his side, Batman uncovers a sinister scheme involving Amos Fortune’s mind-altering machine, while confronting a growing addiction that threatens to consume even him.
In a lighthearted twist on their usual adventures, Lois Lane Kent and Superman (Clark Kent, Erde II) enjoy a playful ride home after buying a new car, their banter warming the air like the summer sun. But when Lois’s recording device is stolen overnight, Superman launches a citywide search—racing against time to recover the car before the thieves uncover the audio that could expose his secret identity.
