In "The Case of the Human Statues!", young Tommy faces his most colossal challenge yet when he’s called to stop the rampage of Professor Bleeck’s towering one-mile-tall son. After being subdued like Gulliver, he’s taken to Titan, the moon of Saturn, where everyone is of the same immense scale—and finds himself welcomed by a kind-hearted family. Written by Otto Binder and brought to life with crisp detail by Curt Swan and John Fischetti, with a striking cover by Al Plastino, this 1949 classic blends wonder and adventure in a way only early Superman stories could.
