Superman #279

In "Menace of the Energy-Blackmailers!", Barbara Gordon arrives in Metropolis on a personal mission, drawn by a mysterious clue linking Clark Kent to a stolen Batman costume. As Superman and Batman work to expose a corrupt shipping magnate, Barbara digs into the connection between the two heroes, uncovering a web of deception tied to J. Saul Kerry and a dangerous scheme involving stolen energy technology. With Batgirl’s sharp instincts and the Man of Steel’s might, the city’s newest threat begins to unravel—but the truth behind the blackout conspiracy is far from simple.

In "The Magic Master of Krypton!", Superman investigates the mysterious origins of magic in the preserved city of Kandor, drawn into a web of illusion and hidden power. There, he encounters Ca-Rox, the self-proclaimed Super-Magier of Krypton, whose seemingly flawless tricks mask a growing, unexplained mastery over matter—though his assistant Maz-Ma has long kept the truth hidden, fearing the volatile villain’s reaction if he ever learned the real source of his abilities.
