The Menomonee Falls Gazette #34
In "The Rat Race," Superman races against time to rescue Lois from Benton, but when a bullet strikes her—bouncing harmlessly off his invulnerable skin—the momentary distraction gives Benton a chance to strike. Written by Jerry Siegel and illustrated by Joe Shuster with inks by Wayne Boring, this 1972 tale from Street Enterprises delivers a tense, character-driven showdown. The cover, by Jim Holdaway, captures the story’s sharp, urgent energy.
