“The Kid Who Struck Out Superman!”

In "The Kid Who Struck Out Superman!", Superman's sudden foray into professional sports—baseball, football, even boxing—leaves fans baffled, but it's all part of a clever disguise. The Man of Steel is secretly using the chaos to track down the alien Slurrans before they strike, while a mysterious young athlete might hold the key. Written by Leo Dorfman and brought to life by Curt Swan's art and George Roussos's inks, with lettering by Joe Letterese, this 1970 classic features a cover by Curt Swan and Murphy Anderson.

Superman inexplicably tries out several professional sports, but dismisses them all as boring and unchallenging. It's all a ruse to cover his plan to prevent the alien Slurrans from invading Earth.
