“Black Magic on Mars!”

Superman #62 (January–February 1950) teams the Man of Steel with none other than Orson Welles — the man who once convinced a nation that Martians had landed — for an adventure that feels tailor-made for his particular legend. The cover by Wayne Boring and Stan Kaye captures the excitement perfectly: Superman dives into action amid a burst of energy while a caped Welles gestures urgently, with squat, ray-gun-toting Martians flanking the scene and the speech bubble warning, "Watch out, Earth — the Martians are coming!" At ten cents for 52 pages, this 1950 issue is a delightful collision of pop-culture showmanship and superhero adventure.
