Written by Craig Boldman and illustrated by Kurt Schaffenberger, with inks by Bob Oksner and colors by Gene D'Angelo, this 1985 issue features a cover by Howard Bender and Murphy Anderson, capturing a high-stakes showdown between cunning schemes and the steel-willed defender of justice.
In a delightfully absurd twist on interstellar real estate, a pompous alien broker named J. Wilbur Wolfingham sets his sights on Earth, believing he can outsmart its inhabitants with a slick scheme. But when the cunning Bax tries to pull off the ultimate con, he underestimates the one figure who’s always one step ahead—Superman.
Superman invites Jon Ross, Pete Ross’s son, to visit his Fortress of Solitude, where the two quickly realize the Kryptonian weapons stored there have vanished. With Jon’s sharp mind and a hunch, they begin piecing together clues to track down the missing tech—before it falls into the wrong hands.
In a quiet moment between bites of a hot dog, Ernie imagines what it would be like to be Superman—testing his instincts by predicting the Man of Steel’s next heroic move. When his guess unexpectedly comes true, the ordinary vendor finds himself caught in a moment of extraordinary possibility, right alongside Lana Lang and the ever-watchful Clark Kent.
