In "The City That Exiled Superman!", a twist on Superman’s legend sees the Man of Steel facing a bizarre threat from a city that has turned against him—though the real danger comes from a very different kind of villain. With the story written by Bill Woolfolk and illustrated by Bob Kane and Lew Sayre Schwartz, this 1951 issue delivers a classic team-up with dynamic art and sharp dialogue, all capped by a striking cover by Win Mortimer.
