“Exit -- Superman!”

A striking cover by Win Mortimer sets a genuinely intriguing tone: Superman stands apart as a woman gestures toward a heroic statue of him, her speech bubble declaring it will be his memorial on Earth after he's settled on New Krypton. The bold cover copy — "Why Does the Man of Steel Abandon This World?" — frames the lead story, "Exit — Superman!", written by William Finger with interior art by Wayne Boring and Stan Kaye. This 52-page October 1951 issue also promises a bonus adventure with Tommy Tomorrow, making it a generous read for a dime.
