It showcases the Golden Age exploits of Superman as he battles gangsters, saboteurs, and other threats in Metropolis and beyond, with classic art by Joe Shuster and Wayne Boring.
In "The Caveman Criminal," a 2010 entry from The Superman Chronicles, Clark Kent and Lois Lane investigate a series of mysterious robberies at a concert venue, where attendees claim to have no memory of being stolen from. When the same pattern repeats during a live broadcast, Superman uncovers a sinister scheme involving mass hypnotism—turning listeners into unwitting accomplices. Written by Jerry Siegel and illustrated by Leo Nowak, with a cover by Fred Ray, this issue blends classic mystery with a chilling twist on public vulnerability.

When people who attend a concert at Plymouth Hall are robbed, seemingly without their knowledge, Clark and Lois attend the next evening's concert to see if lightning strikes twice. It does, and Clark discovers that mass hypnotism is involved, which makes it all the worse a few nights later when the concert is broadcast over the airwaves, making people fall asleep while listening to the program, and allowing criminals to rob them blind.
