Superman Taschenbuch #52

In "Wiedergeburt," Superman faces a bizarre challenge when the Prankster taunts him with a message: crimes will unfold right before his eyes, yet he’ll be powerless to stop them. Using long-forgotten laws—like the absurd ban on putting pennies in one’s ears in Hawaii—the criminal exploits loopholes that leave even the Man of Steel stumped. Written by Martin Pasko and illustrated by Kurt Schaffenberger, with inks by Bob Smith and colors by Jerry Serpe, this 1983 issue features a cover by Gil Kane, capturing the surreal tone of a case where justice is trapped in outdated rules.
