Stories

The Creature That Charmed Children! · 17 pages
Superman encounters Jorlan, a hairy beast who seems to charm - and protect - children. Not only that, but Jorlan is as strong and powerful as Superman! As Superman tries to figure out the mystery, he receives a message from Orn-Zu from the Phantom Zone. Orn-Zu created Jorlan, and he says Jorlan is a threat to every child on Earth.
