Superman #18/1980
In "Der grosse Raumfahrschwindel," alien visitors who've crash-landed on Earth adapt to human life—only to suppress their desperation through self-hypnosis, inadvertently giving rise to a mysterious energy entity that actively sabotages space travel. Written by Cary Bates and brought to life with Curt Swan’s signature art, Frank Chiaramonte’s inks, and Gene D’Angelo’s colors, this 1980 classic features a cover by Ross Andru and Dick Giordano.
When alien refugees crash-land on Earth and hide in plain sight, their desperate attempt to forget their plight accidentally births a mysterious force that sabotages human spaceflight—leaving Superman, Perry White, and Jimmy Olsen to unravel a conspiracy that’s as much about memory as it is about the stars.
When Jimmy Olsen walks the streets of Metropolis, no one recognizes him—making it easy for the cunning Moxy Mason to nearly kidnap him unnoticed. But when a sharp-eyed boy named Tommy Jones spots the strange scene, he springs into action, teaming up with Jimmy and the others to outwit the gangsters before they can escape.
