Superman #6/1978
In "Killer mit dem stählernen Herzen," Superman narrowly escapes a deadly trap only to uncover a shocking deception: his new ally, Martin Korda, is actually Metallo in disguise. When Metallo intercepts a SKULL plot to deploy a kryptonite pipeline, he strikes with brutal precision—his true aim revealed as a sinister plan to swap Superman’s Kryptonian heart for his own steel core, leaving the Man of Steel vulnerable and collapsing in the process. Written by Martin Pasko and brought to life by Curt Swan’s iconic art, Dan Adkins’ inks, and Jerry Serpe’s colors, this 1978 issue features a cover by Neal Adams that captures the tension in stark, dramatic detail.
