World's Finest Comics #106
In "The Duplicate Man," a criminal with the eerie ability to split into two identical selves at will stumps both Superman and Batman, outsmarting them with his perfect alibi—each copy can recall the other if one is captured. Written by Bill Finger and brought to life by Dick Sprang’s dynamic art and Sheldon Moldoff’s inks, this 1959 classic from World's Finest Comics #106 showcases a clever foe whose duplicity pushes the Dynamic Duo to their limits. Curt Swan’s cover captures the moment of tension, with the two identical men standing in stark contrast.
