“Dark Messenger of Mercy!”
★ 1st appearance — Lucius Fox

In "Dark Messenger of Mercy!", Superman finds himself trapped by the villain Big Dome, who uses a Kryptonite beam to neutralize the Man of Steel. With help from two unexpected allies—children armed with Hostess Twinkies—the hero manages a clever escape, turning a moment of absurdity into a pivotal advantage. Art by Curt Swan and Vince Colletta brings the action to life, while Jim Aparo's cover captures the chaotic energy of the showdown.
