Superman #29
In "The Wizard of Wishes!", Superman faces a cunning foe who profits by stealing masterpieces and replacing them with flawless forgeries, all while building a secret arsenal to exploit the hero’s vulnerabilities. Written by Bill Finger and brought to life by Sam Citron’s art with inks by Don Komisarow, this 1944 classic sees the Man of Steel confront a brilliant criminal who’s not just after wealth—but power. The cover, by Wayne Boring and George Roussos, captures the mystery and menace of the scheme.
In "The Wizard of Wishes!", the Prankster, posing as a magical figure known as the Wizard of Wishes, tricks a wealthy man into believing he can grant any desire—until Superman, Lois Lane, and Perry White uncover the scam. With the help of a mysterious professor and a pair of crooked accomplices, the Prankster’s scheme grows wilder by the minute, but can even the Man of Steel stop the chaos before it’s too late?
In "The Tycoon of Crime!", Superman faces a new kind of villain in 1944: a wealthy criminal mastermind who turns art theft into a business, using forged masterpieces to cover his tracks. When the Man of Steel uncovers the scheme, the Tycoon of Crime—Mr. Blob—responds with a ruthless plan to outwit him, enlisting scientists to uncover Superman's secrets and destroy him.
When Lois Lane takes on a feature about a local bakery, she stumbles into a web of deception where flour sacks hide more than just baked goods—this sweet shop is a front for a criminal lottery ring, and Superman must step in as Clark Kent to uncover the truth before the cops, including Policemen Noonan and Carmody, are outsmarted by a crew of crooks led by the cunning Fingers Gordon, the unpredictable Pinball Miggsy, and the cold Mr. Gratz, all while the Daily Planet’s editor Perry White watches the story unfold.
In "The Pride of the Kents!", Superman—disguised as the flamboyant Battlin' Buffo—finds himself caught in a chaotic family reunion orchestrated by Uncle Dudley Kent, who's testing how much his relatives truly value him. With the Kent Brothers—Ted, Ed, Jed, and Ned—adding mischief to the mix, the event spirals into a farcical showdown where loyalty, pride, and mistaken identity collide.
