“Concerts of Doom”

In "Concerts of Doom," Superman #14 (1942) delivers a chilling mystery from the early days of the Man of Steel, with Jerry Siegel’s script and Leo Nowak’s art bringing a suspenseful twist to a seemingly innocent night at Plymouth Hall. When a series of mysterious robberies plague concertgoers, Clark Kent and Lois Lane investigate the next performance—only to uncover a sinister plot involving mass hypnosis, culminating in a nationwide broadcast that puts listeners to sleep while thieves strike. Fred Ray’s cover captures the eerie allure of the story, perfectly framing the danger lurking in the music itself.

When people who attend a concert at Plymouth Hall are robbed, seemingly without their knowledge, Clark and Lois attend the next evening's concert to see if lightning strikes twice. It does, and Clark discovers that mass hypnotism is involved, which makes it all the worse a few nights later when the concert is broadcast over the airwaves, making people fall asleep while listening to the program, and allowing criminals to rob them blind.
