“Europe at War, Part 2”

In "Europe at War, Part 2," Superman—working undercover as Clark Kent with Lois Lane—uncovers a web of sabotage orchestrated by a shadowy munitions tycoon, Luthor, who's fueling the conflict between the nations of Galonia and Toran. With Lois taken hostage aboard Luthor’s massive dirigible, Superman races to stop the war before it consumes the continent. Written by Jerome Siegel and illustrated by Joe Shuster, with inks by Paul Cassidy, and featuring a cover by Shuster and Cassidy, this early Superman tale blends wartime intrigue with the hero’s relentless drive to protect the innocent.
