Stories

  • Raising the Stakes · 22 pages

    Superman and Robin get some unexpected help stopping Dr. Ruthven... from the demon Blaze. Blaze also saves Sam Foswell from his suicide jump, to use as her pawn.

Publisher’s description

Superman spends the night reading letters from around the world asking for his help. Though the Last Son of Krypton can bend steel with his bare hands, change the course of mighty rivers, and leap tall buildings in a single bound, there are still some things even a Superman can't do.
