Action Comics #72
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeFrom 1944, this DC wartime-era issue puts Superman front and center in a tense laboratory standoff — cape billowing, he grips a rod or weapon being wielded by a panicked figure in a white coat, with industrial machinery and bursts of energy crackling in the background. Cover pencils by Wayne Boring and inks by Stan Kaye give the scene a vivid, kinetic charge that leaps right off the yellow-and-black backdrop. Inside, Mort Meskin brings the story "Superman and the Super-Movers!" to life, making this a satisfying snapshot of the Man of Steel at his Golden Age best.

Jabez Haines keeps his grandfather's name alive as a hero, when in reality he was quite a villain. The Prairie Troubadour is performing at a fund-raising dance when Stuff overhears a deputy tell the sheriff that the bank is being robbed. In his Vigilante guise he catches Haines at the bank, but lets him go. Later, he teaches Haines humility and shows him the errors of his ways.
