Stories

  • The Kid Who Struck Out Superman! · 12.5 pages

    Superman inexplicably tries out several professional sports, but dismisses them all as boring and unchallenging. It's all a ruse to cover his plan to prevent the alien Slurrans from invading Earth.

  • The Superman Legend: Rogues' Gallery! · 2 pages
  • The Mystery Legionnaire! · 11 pages

    The head of the android criminal Klim seeks to reunite with his body and to take his revenge on the Legionnaire who defeated him, but the same team that stopped him before stops him again.
