In "Sergeant Superman," a young Tommy finds himself mysteriously transported to the year 2155 after a time ray sent by the villainous Doctor Ultra steals a revolutionary super plastic formula from Professor Starr. Stranded in a futuristic world, Tommy must rely on his wits and a few relics from the past to outsmart Ultra and prove that courage and ingenuity still matter—even a century ahead of their time. Written by Otto Binder and illustrated by Jim Mooney, with a striking cover by Al Plastino, this 1955 classic blends sci-fi adventure with a timeless coming-of-age twist.
