“The Man from the Phantom Zone!”

In "The Man from the Phantom Zone!", Superman grants a rare second chance by releasing Ak-Var from the Phantom Zone after his sentence, allowing him a brief visit to Earth before bringing him to Kandor. Once there, Ak-Var reunites with his old friends Vas-Quor, Brenn-Bir, and Kyl-Ibo—only to find them using super-powers to commit crimes, leading to suspicion. With Curt Swan’s dynamic art and George Klein’s inks bringing the action to life, Superman and Ak-Var work together to uncover the truth behind the museum heist, as a mysterious twist involving a shard of Red Kryptonite begins to unravel. The story is written by Edmond Hamilton and E. Nelson Bridwell, with lettering by Joe Letterese.

Superman releases Ak-Var from the Phantom Zone since he has served his sentence. Before bringing him to Kandor, Superman allows Ak-Var to explore Earth. Once in Kandor, Ak-Var greets his three old friends Vas-Quor, Brenn-Bir, and Kyl-Ibo. When these three rob a museum using super-powers, the authorities think Ak-Var must be to blame. Vas-Quor disguises himself as "Gan-Lar", so that he can frame Ak-Var. Superman and Ak-Var help expose the criminals. Ak-Var explains that he accidentally gave his former friends super-powers due to his exposure on his tour of Earth to a piece of Red Kryptonite.
