Action Comics #430

In "Bus-Ride to Nowhere!", a centuries-old chameleon-like creature, having journeyed from 40,000 years in the past to the present day, takes up residence in the same Metropolis apartment building as Clark Kent. Now plotting to build a seismic machine to destroy humanity, its presence sets off a tense, unpredictable chain of events that leaves the city on edge.

In "Up Pops the Atom," Ray Palmer takes Jean Lorings nephew Freddy to a carnival, where the boy buys a mysterious atom figurine from a fortune-teller's booth. When a thief steals it, Ray pursues the culprit in his Atom form, uncovering a spy ring tied to the toy's strange origins. Determined to keep his promise to Freddy, Ray keeps the figurine close—but even a hero in costume can’t predict how a child’s imagination might turn a simple game into something far more dangerous.
