Superman #6/1968

Superboy, bored on a quiet afternoon, quietly helps three children in trouble—without them ever realizing their unseen hero. It’s a small act of kindness that takes on unexpected meaning when he later discovers the kids are the very ones who would become his closest friends: Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Perry White.

When Morna Vine, the niece of the Planet's Rundschau's chief shareholder, starts outpacing even Superman’s most seasoned reporters with her exclusive scoops, the Man of Steel begins to suspect she’s hiding more than just a knack for breaking stories—especially when her leads keep pointing to impossible feats. With Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Perry White baffled, and Professor Morgan’s theories growing wilder by the minute, Superman must figure out whether Morna’s talent is genius… or something far more extraordinary.

When the eccentric villain Bum Ballerbang devises a bizarre code language to outwit Batman and Robin, the Dynamic Duo must crack the cryptic chatter before the gangster gang strikes. With Polizeichef James "Jim" Gordon watching closely, the heroes face their most linguistically baffling challenge yet—can they decode the madness before it’s too late?
