The story takes a surprising turn when it’s revealed an alien child is behind the scheme, using the moment to summon Superman to their secret clubhouse. Written by Cary Bates and brought to life with Curt Swan’s iconic art, Frank Chiaramonte’s inks, Gene D’Angelo’s colors, and Ben Oda’s letters, this 1979 classic features a cover by Ross Andru and Dick Giordano.
