In "Kateellinen Clark Kent!", Superboy's latest adventure takes a bizarre turn when red kryptonite transforms him into a life-size puppet of himself—literally playing the role of his own alter ego. Written by Leo Dorfman and illustrated by George Papp, this 1965 Finnish classic sees Clark Kent’s frustration with his dual identity lead to a strange experiment in public perception. The cover by Curt Swan and George Klein captures the surreal moment with striking clarity.
