“Lost on a Comet!”

In "Lost on a Comet!", Superman faces a mystery when Vartox, a confused alien with no memory of his past, crash-lands on Earth seeking help. As the Man of Steel tries to uncover Vartox’s origins, Lana Lang finds her secret admirer growing more daring in his quiet pursuit. Written by Cary Bates and Elliot S! Maggin, with Curt Swan’s timeless art and Gil Kane’s striking cover, this 1983 classic blends cosmic intrigue with heartfelt small-town drama.
