In "Perry White's Manhunt for Superman!", the Daily Planet's editor-in-chief launches a citywide search for Superman after the Man of Steel mysteriously vanishes—only to be drawn into a surreal nightmare orchestrated by alien invaders from Wexr II. Using red kryptonite to plunge Superman into vivid, terrifying dreams, the extraterrestrials then attempt to trap him in a real-world illusion, hoping he'll believe he's still dreaming and fail to act.
