“Citadel of Doom!”

In "Citadel of Doom!", Superman faces a new kind of threat when newspaper mogul John Wilton shuts down the Daily Planet and attempts to crush a rival paper run by the former staff—now working odd jobs to survive. Written by Edmond Hamilton and illustrated by Al Plastino, this 1952 classic captures the tension of a media battle with a hero caught in the middle, all under Wayne Boring’s iconic cover art and Stan Kaye’s sharp inks.
