Superman Extra #1

In "Die Baseball-Panne," Mr. Mirakel tracks a group of Intergang thugs, but before he can apprehend them, they slip away—leaving behind a lingering psychic residue from their mental weapon. Fearing for Superman’s safety, he devises a risky plan: feigning a battle with the Man of Steel to create a distraction, he uses the ruse to outmaneuver the criminals. Written by Steve Englehart and illustrated by Rich Buckler, with inks by Dick Giordano and colors by Jerry Serpe, this 1980 issue features a clever, high-stakes deception. The cover, by Ross Andru and Dick Giordano, captures the tension of the moment.
