Count X

Count X

“A much wanted master spy”—the mastermind behind the recent theft of “the Navy’s new secret air-torpedo’ from a local Navy yard— whose capture by the Metropolis police at “an obscure waterfront warehouse” in June 1963 comes as the culmination of an elaborate ruse in which Superman pretends to have murdered Clark Kent in a fit of jealousy over Lois Lane so that Count X’s underworld cohorts, who know that Kent has learned the scheduled date of their next secret meeting with the Count, will allow the date and place of their rendezvous to remain unchanged in the belief that Kent is dead and their secret is safe (Act No. 301, Jun 1963:: The Trial of Superman!”). The story is in many respects similar to Superman No. 62/2 (Jan/Feb 1950: The People vs. Superman!). (See: The Ace ) (TGSB)
