World's Finest Comics #26
In "The Confessions of Superman!", a 1947 gem from World's Finest Comics #26, Jerry Siegel crafts a rare, introspective take on the Man of Steel as he agrees to write his autobiography for a charity bid—only to face disbelief when his own story is dismissed as fiction. With art by John Sikela and Stan Kaye, and lettering by Ira Schnapp, the tale unfolds with a quiet, character-driven weight, while Jack Burnley and Charles Paris deliver a striking cover that captures the story's earnest, ironic tone.

The publisher of Ace Publishing Company offers Superman $50,000 for charity if he will write his autobiography, but when Lois delivers the 125,000 word manuscript, the publisher rejects it as far-fetched and a pack of lies.
