Superman #18/1977

When a mysterious phantom stirs chaos in Metropolis, Clark Kent finds himself sharing his apartment with a new neighbor whose strange behavior hints at something far darker. As Greg Porter claims to hear his late wife’s voice, the truth unravels: Faora Hu-Ul, a vengeful figure from the Phantom Zone, manipulates him to break free—while Superman races to stop her before she turns the city into her personal prison.

In a tense showdown born of obsession, Superman faces off against Faora Hu-Ul—freed from the Phantom Zone by Greg Porter’s reckless devotion—when her deadly prowess proves too much to match in open combat. Forced to retreat, Superman plunges into the Phantom Zone, where the real battle for survival begins.

When the Prankster challenges Superman to stop him from committing crimes right under his nose—using laws so obscure they’re practically forgotten—Superman finds himself stumped by a bizarre twist: the Prankster’s latest stunt involves inserting pennies into ears, a ban still technically in effect only on Hawaii. With the rules on his side and chaos in full swing, Superman must navigate the absurdity before the joke turns dangerous.
