☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "How to Tame a Wild Volcano!", Superman answers a call from Clark Kent, who's reporting on a volatile South Seas volcano for WGBS. As the island teeters on the edge of eruption, Superman must confront the natural fury from the air—falling from the sky as a sand creature streaks past. Written by Denny O'Neil and brought to life with Curt Swan’s precise art and Murphy Anderson’s sharp inks, the issue blends science and spectacle. The cover by Neal Adams captures the moment in dramatic, dynamic detail.
In "How to Tame a Wild Volcano!", Superman is called to cover a volcanic eruption, but his efforts to stop the disaster are hampered by sudden weakness whenever a mysterious sand creature appears nearby. As Clark Kent reports on the unfolding crisis, the strange presence of the sand being and its effect on the Man of Steel hint at a deeper mystery beneath the erupting lava.
In "Prison in the Sky," Jor-El's experimental rocket and sleep gas are used to imprison criminals in orbit, but when a convict returns to Krypton, he suddenly wields superpowers—leaving Ken-Dal, Nali-Ilv, and Ed-Ilv to confront the mystery behind his transformation. Tron-Et, the enigmatic villain, may hold the key to what truly happened in the sky.
