Superman #7/1971
In "Midas von Metropolis," Superman takes an unexpected turn when he begins accepting payment for his heroic deeds—amassing vast fortunes, founding his own bank, and going head-to-head with a rival financier. Written by Leo Dorfman and brought to life by Curt Swan’s iconic art with Murphy Anderson’s inks, this 1971 tale blends superhero action with a clever financial twist, all wrapped in a cover by Swan and Anderson.
When Superman begins accepting payment for his heroic deeds—amassing billions and founding his own bank—his sudden shift from hero to tycoon throws Metropolis into chaos. With Lois Lane watching closely and a web of deception unfolding, he faces off against rival financiers, including the cunning Cyrus Blank and the enigmatic Sheik Hassan, all while a deeper mystery involving Rembrandt Regan begins to surface.
Frank Bartlow arrives at a police station, a strange helmet fused to his head—its ticking mechanism a deadly countdown. With time running out, he must uncover the truth behind the device and the man who set it: Edward Mason.
