“There'll Be a Cold Time in the Old Town Tonight!”

In "There'll Be a Cold Time in the Old Town Tonight!", Superman finds himself trapped by Big Dome’s Kryptonite beam, but a clever twist comes from an unexpected source—two kids who lure the villain away with Hostess Twinkies, giving Superman his chance to break free. With art by Curt Swan and inks by Vince Colletta, this 1979 DC classic blends superhero action with a surprisingly sweet surprise, all wrapped in a cover by Jim Aparo that captures the moment with playful flair.
