Written by Robert Bernstein and illustrated by George Papp, this 1970 tale blends classic sci-fi intrigue with the timeless tension of a hero trapped between worlds, all rendered with the bold, expressive style of Neal Adams on the cover.
When Batman defeats a martial arts grandmaster in a public showdown, the loss ignites a deadly vendetta—leading the disgraced fighter to kidnap Police Chief James "Jim" Gordon.

Superboy stumbles upon a Kryptonian chest hidden in the Kent farm, uncovering a mysterious device known as the Phantom-Zones-Projektor. When he activates it, he’s suddenly thrust into the eerie, dimension-hopping Phantom Zone—where he must confront not only the strange laws of the realm but also the sinister Dr. Xadu and the ever-threatening General Zod, who seem to have their own plans for the power he’s just awakened.
