Stories

    Superman and Professor Hamilton discover rogue robots rebuilding the abandoned Fortress. Back in Metropolis, Perry White spars with columnist Dirk Armstrong while Lori Lemaris evades tough questions. Later, Superman learns of a strange anomaly in space that's approaching Earth.

Publisher’s description

As the cold, dark night descends, Superman is forced to battle his own Antarctic refuge as the robots within the Fortress of Solitude fail to recognize him as a Kryptonian, perceiving him instead to be an interloper!
