House of Mystery #101

In "The City of Golden Men," Superman uses his powers to take a group of indifferent boys on a journey to witness the harsh realities faced by refugees, offering a rare, heartfelt moment of empathy in a classic House of Mystery tale. Written by Jack Schiff and brought to life with Curt Swan’s expressive art and Stan Kaye’s crisp inks, the story stands out for its quiet, humanistic message. Bernard Baily’s striking cover captures the tale’s otherworldly tone, making this 1960 issue a poignant entry in the series’ early years.
