Limited Collectors' Edition #C-31
In the 1974 Limited Collectors' Edition #C-31, "War in Europe" marks a rare collaboration between Superman's co-creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, with Paul Cassidy handling both art and inks. When Clark and Lois are dispatched to cover a sudden invasion of Galonia, their assignment takes a personal turn after Clark saves actress Lita Laverne on the journey—only for her to later dismiss him. At a reception meant to honor her, the city is bombed, and Superman must race to stop the attack, uncovering a troubling link to a neutral steamship and a mystery surrounding Lita’s role. The cover, by H. J. Ward and Joseph Szokoli, captures the tension of war-torn Europe with striking detail.
