- The Superman Calendar · 12 pages
Devious Thorne Varden claims to be a calendar publisher, and offers to donate all profits from a Superman calendar to the Planet charity fund. He asks Superman to pose for a dozen shots performing feats which he has sketched, one of which, Varden tells his henchmen, is impossible. If Superman fails to deliver the shots, Varden keeps the profits for himself. The November shot shows Superman going home for Thanksgiving, but to do so would expose his secret identity. Instead of returning to the Kent home in Kansas he takes the photographer into space, where the planet Krypton had previously been.
