The Super Heroes #4
In "Challenge of the Man-Bat," Superman faces a rare test of willpower when Kond pleads for help saving his mate Rija—only to find her transformed into a Siren whose allure threatens to override even his superhuman resolve. Written by Cary Bates and brought to life with classic precision by artists Curt Swan and Murphy Anderson, this 1981 Egmont UK issue delivers a haunting, emotionally charged clash between loyalty and temptation. The cover, by J. David Jackson, captures the tension in bold, striking detail.
