The Superman Chronicles #10
In "The Eight Doomed Men," a rare early Superman story by co-creator Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, Lois Lane steps into editor White’s role for the first time—assigning Clark Kent to write the love-lorn column, a task that unexpectedly plunges him into a deadly mystery. When a cane-wielding stranger targets a young inventor with plans for a revolutionary tank-plane, Clark finds himself caught in a web of deception and danger. The story’s haunting tone and classic art by Siegel and Shuster, with cover by Sam Citron and George Roussos, make this a standout in the Superman Chronicles series.
