Aggressor nations make a policy of having their ambassadors deal in espionage. If Napkan really is behind this wave of sabotage, I'll know soon enough!
I was a father figure to the entire world...And to one person in particular...But that was another world. Another Earth. I died fighting Superboy on a distant planet, but I was blessed to have her by my side when the life slipped from my body.
Here's your ma, boys. The lonely widow, sure...but my wife and I will make it so Ma and Pa Kent are back in each other's arms.
No... not a battalion -- We're not part of any army. We fight only in the cause of justice ... and that'll give us our name ... The Justice Society of America.
Huh? According to this, all Franconian agents in the U.S. returned home last week, in order not to embarrass Franconian negotiations for an American loan! That means that Franconian agents couldn't possibly have made that attempt on Spiral's life!
You don't know how often I asked myself those very questions. I wasted so much time before I came up with the answer. Yes, there are millions out there, many more millions than I could ever hope to help. So I became obsessed with helping everyone. Oh, I did so happily, but something inside me was missing. Our name is Superman. That's super and man. And I was allowing myself to be controlled only by the super. I finally decided after all too long that I deserved some happiness. The man in me had a right to live. Well, once I made that decision something happened. I found a renewed vigor within me. I had Lois. I had happiness, and there I was with this renewed commitment to helping others, too. Because of the love Lois and I shared, I became an even better Superman than before.
Attempted destruction of the officials! Crippling of the relief ship! One man can tell me who's responsible -- the mechanic who smashed the airplane's controls!
The surviving Ulondians will no longer be menaced by Zolar!
Since the history books say the Greeks won the war with their wooden horse, I won't be changing events any by building it myself!
You see that steamer? It's the Baronta. Tomorrow, it leaves for San Monte. Unless I find you aboard it when it sails, I swear I'll follow you to whatever hole you hide in, and tear out your cruel heart with my bare hands!
Don't quibble! Cracking your head like an egg shell will be a messy job, but if you insist on being stubborn ...
I need your support and help, cousin. We can save Lois. We can save her if we can take her home. This corrupted and darkened Earth must be forgotten as ours was... so that the right Earth can return.
There certainly are a lot of fascinating sights and exhibits for us to write about.
Ratzi, I don't know where you've been hiding all these years -- but I cut my baby teeth on skunks like you!
You always did have a penchant for brain implants, U-H. You trade in bodies the way other people trade in used cars! But after all the bodies you've had-- You still make the same stupid mistakes as always! Sending gorillas to attack me-- That was stupid! And sticking around after your attack failed-- is even stupider! But over-running those innocent zoo guards was the stupidest act of all-- Because now, you've made me angry!
No time for formalities... what's the trouble, Santa?
Poor Lois! I'd give anything in the world to make you well! You can't hear me, but even though it's too late, I want you to know my secret... You've always ridiculed Clark Kent- and admired Superman! Clark Kent and Superman are one and the same! If you could only open your eyes, Lois!
Made it! But this lens maniac's beginning to get on my nerves! Having to rescue him all the time, he's worse than Lois Lane!
It was rather nice having you worrying about me for once, Lois!
Let me see now! If I invert the power of X, and cube it by the inertia ratio of migratory matter... No! That's wrong too!
Signal your fleet to destroy itself, or I'll destroy YOU!
The next thing to snap around here will be your neck! Get back to the ball, Cinderella, and leave this knave to me!
This is one of the rarest punches known to science, Doctor... no antidote has ever been discovered!
Maybe it's silly... but I have a feeling I should investigate these strange rumors about a wizard who once terrorized a little town called Morabia!
Gumdrop meets licorice tower! Effect: DEVASTATING!
Here's where Superman plays a return engagement with Mr. Mxyztplk... and sees that he departs from this world for his own dimension without delay!
The day is near when all nations will be neighbors!
Ever since I've helped those two ex-street salesmen of magic books into thinking they were real magicians, they've made my life very complicated...
What have your reindeer got that I haven't got?
Now you can consider yourselves graduates of the college of hard knocks!
Lois, I can't decide whether you're plucky or pig-headed!
The seedy world I showed you was an illusion - but it would be a terrible reality if everybody shirked his responsibilities! To build a better world, we must all work and help each other!
Sometimes I think Superman is a publicity hound!
So -- This town's being run ragged by racketeers! Hm -- Driving a cab's hardly the place for me. If I can't get that reporter's job, the place for Clark Kent is the police force! Then I can really do something!
You married Clark Kent, sweetheart-- And now it's my turn! You and I are going to become man and wife-- Kryptonian style!
As long as you're careful how you abbreviate it.
See, I collect bullets. It's sort of a hobby.
I could smash into that air-raid shelter, but this method has more possibilities for comedy at Razkal's expense!
In the future, Lois, please try to keep away from murder charges-- they can prove quite embarrassing if you can't be cleared!
I'd like to see a copy of that comic book.
Lois under arrest? Now Casey, you know better than to suspect Lois of espionage. Release her or the Daily Planet will publish an extra that will ...
You can't have my autograph, but here's my fist-o-graph!
DO GOOD UNTO OTHERS AND EVERY MAN CAN BE A SUPERMAN
Now I understand why I'm different from earthmen! I'm not really from Earth at all — I'm from another planet — the planet Jor-El called Krypton!!
Lois Lane was a big enough worry, but a Lois with super-powers is far worse!
But those five men are at the very top of their professions! Why would they turn to crime?
It's good to be home-- And I'm going to do everything I can to develop my powers so I can help others like Superboy does!
Trying again-- But hurdling a 20-story building is my limit! This all adds up to one thing! While I still have powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men-- I'm no longer the Superman I was yesterday!
The way I figure it, someone has managed to collect a large amount of Kryptonite-- And is supplying crooks with it! So my next move is to find out who that someone is-- By going underground-- As a super-criminal!
There's always a choice, Kara.
I know several so-called "tough guys" who are looking for trouble! And believe me, they're going to get it!
Gr-great Scott! Th-there's nothing out there. No Earth-2... no universe... nothing!
But that ring, it represents the paranoia and mistrust that will destroy your world if you let it.
You were never the Superman I was. I saved the world. You couldn't even save your Pa.
