Superman #48

In "The Man Who Stole the Sun!", Lex Luthor unleashes a colossal spacecraft to block the sun’s light from reaching Earth, plunging the world into darkness and forcing Superman to confront the ultimate threat—his own power rendered useless in the absence of daylight. With Lois Lane, Perry White, and the rest of the Daily Planet crew scrambling to understand the crisis, Superman must find a way to stop Luthor’s plan before the planet succumbs to chaos.

In a charming 1947 tale from Superman #48, a young man named Johnny Terrill, inspired by a Daily Planet autograph contest, sets out to collect signatures from history’s greatest figures—both real and legendary—hoping to regain his confidence after a setback. With Superman’s help, he travels through time and across the globe, gathering autographs from icons like George Washington, Leonardo da Vinci, and Harry S. Truman, all while racing against a cunning heir and his crooked bodyguards, who have far more sinister plans for the signatures.
