Superman #6/1979

In "Maskenspiel des Todes," Superman joins forces with Batman in a tense hunt for a missing prince, as General Lazlo eludes capture and a hidden nuclear launch site threatens global peace. With Gräfin Portia uncovering a shocking deception—her husband is an imposter—she chooses to maintain the charade to protect her lover, deepening the mystery. Written by Bob Haney and illustrated by Kurt Schaffenberger, with inks by Frank Chiaramonte and colors by Gene D'Angelo, the issue's cover by Jim Aparo captures the intrigue in bold, dramatic strokes.
