In "Meet the Tempter.... and Die!", Superman and Hawkman face a chilling psychological challenge as a mysterious, otherworldly entity known as the Tempter preys on their deepest insecurities, turning their confidence against them in Midway City. Written by Mike Friedrich and brought to life with sharp, dynamic art by Dick Dillin and Joe Giella, this 1972 DC classic sees the heroes tested not by brute force, but by the seductive danger of ego—on a cover by Neal Adams and Dick Giordano that captures the tension perfectly.
