Superman #23/1976

In "Ein Ufo stiehlt die USA - Teil 1: Sie kamen bei Nacht," Superman und Batman investigate a mysterious circular crater that has destroyed half a farm, leaving its terrified inhabitants convinced aliens stole their pond and horse. When they return, they're confronted by Joshua Walden—whose face begins to melt—revealing him to be Gold, the enigmatic leader of the Metal People.

In the second part of "Ein Ufo stiehlt die USA," Superman and Gold (von den Metallmenschen) team up to unravel the mystery behind the alien theft, while Batman follows a lead from farmer Joshua Walden. Hunted by a deadly energy beam that destroys his Batmobil, Batman finds himself hospitalized—where Superman and Gold launch a daring ruse to outwit the unseen threat.

In "Ein Ufo stiehlt die USA - Teil 3 : Der dünne Draht," Superman and Gold execute a desperate ruse to save Batman, hiding his fate even as the Dark Knight lies gravely injured in the Fortress of Solitude. With Earth’s stolen cities suddenly returned, Gold stretches across the void, thinning to the molecular level to deliver a vital message to the steel-wrapped alien far beyond the stars.

Falke is on the trail of a nimble thief, but when the crook suddenly reveals unexpected powers, even the most straightforward traps turn into escape routes—just as Falke closes in, the game shifts in ways he never expected. With Bing Grover, Al Spears, Garcia, and Falkgirl caught in the chaos, the chase takes a surreal turn in this quirky, fast-paced 1976 Superman tale.

In a 1976 tale from Superman #23, the young thief Falke and the mysterious Falkgirl both realize their extraordinary abilities only surface under threat—leading them to target a heavily guarded prize. Meanwhile, Professor M´Kann, a scientist from the 41st century who has taken refuge in his ancestor’s body, must rely on future tech to protect his past self as the two young rivals clash.
