“The Case of the Human Statues!”

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.
