| Summary |
"Superman continues to battle social injustice and political corruption, fighting for the common man. No wonder he remains America's favorite hero during World War II. While the Allies fought the Axis powers in Europe and the Pacific, Superman was dealing with threats at home like his old foe Lex Luthor, conman J. Wilbur Wolfingham and that pesky imp from the fifth dimension, Mister Mxyzptlk! But the Man of Steel isn't the only one capturing the hearts and minds of America, as Lois Lane finally stars in her first solo adventure and her niece Susan Tompkins makes her triumphant return!"--Page 4 of cover. |
