“The Outlaw Fort Knox!”

In "The Outlaw Fort Knox!", Superman faces a new and terrifying threat: gold kryptonite, a rare form of the mineral that could permanently strip him of his powers. When the people of Kandor discover the stone, they send a team to banish it to the Phantom Zone, only to find their own abilities fading along the way. With help from Jimmy Olsen and a surprising turn of events, Superman finds a way to give the stranded team a new beginning beyond Kandor. Written by Otto Binder and illustrated by Al Plastino, with a cover by Curt Swan and George Klein.
