“Superman on Television!”

In "Superman on Television!", the Man of Steel takes center stage—literally—as he uses live TV broadcasts to clear the name of wrongfully accused John Sterling. With Al Plastino handling both the interior art and the cover pencils and inks, this 1948 classic captures Superman’s early foray into mass media, proving that even in the age of black-and-white screens, truth can still shine through.
