“The Golden Superman!”

In "The Golden Superman!", Superman dives into a reactivated volcano and uses a massive chunk of gold to seal the vent—only to emerge with gold dust on his hands. When he chips it off, the dust emits strange rays that turn everything he touches into gold. A striking visual tale from Al Plastino’s art and Win Mortimer’s cover, this 1954 classic captures Superman in a uniquely vulnerable, transformative moment.
