Superman #13
In "The Light," Superman ventures beneath Metropolis and uncovers a hidden civilization long thought extinct, forced underground by the ice age. Led by Kyack, they've developed a powerful ray device to reclaim the surface world, and Superman must confront their growing threat before it's too late. Written by Jerry Siegel and illustrated by John Sikela, with a striking cover by Fred Ray, this 1941 classic blends early sci-fi wonder with the hero's enduring sense of justice.

Superman discovers an underground civilization beneath Metropolis that has been using a ray apparatus to destroy buildings in Metropolis and elsewhere. He meets with Kyack and learns that this civilization once populated the Earth before the ice age, and the glaciers forced them underground, where they built their new civilization. Now they are planning an invasion of the Earth's surface and restore the rule they once had over it.
