Superman #140

Published by DC Comics in October 1960, Superman #140 arrived during the Silver Age of comic books, a period characterized by imaginative, often surreal storytelling. This issue features the iconic creative team of writer Jerry Siegel and artist Curt Swan. It is perhaps best remembered for its cover, which depicts Superman being tormented by his own super-powered robots, a concept that tapped into the public's growing fascination with technology and automation during the post-war era.

The interior story, 'The Super-Revenge of the Krypton Robots', continues the trend of pitting the Man of Steel against mechanical doppelgängers. Curt Swan, who became the definitive Superman artist of his generation, leaned into his signature clean, realistic style, providing a grounded aesthetic that contrasted with the increasingly fantastical plots favored by DC editorial at the time. The issue remains a notable example of the reliable, character-driven storytelling that defined the Superman title throughout the early 1960s.
