Fighting the never ending battle for Truth, Justice and the American Way!

America’s Favorite Adventure-Strip Character!

SUPERMAN Vol.1, No.24, September 1943;  Cover Art: Jack Burnley Writer: Don Cameron; Penciler: Ed Dobrotka  Inker: Ed Dobrotka

Behind this patriotic cover, Superman indulges his thespian aspirations with Lois playing damsel in distress in a melodrama starring the Man of Steel himself.  Next, Clark and Lois are introduced to “Crackpot Lane,” where some of the wackiest inventions to fight the war are hidden; spies based in a sanitarium are often the crazy creations for their own nefarious use.  Then, when Superman has to appear at Lois’ surprise birthday party for Clark, he hires a double, unaware that he’s hired a criminal.  Finally, Superman must stop an Axis plot to strategically leverage the Arctic as an aerial route.
