Superman and the Flash battle Nam-Ek, an impervious survivor of Krypton with a Rondor horn, whom the Man of Steel mistakenly thinks has been causing a plague in Central City. When he apparently kills Nam-Ek, Superman believes he must retire. Worse yet, Lois Lane is stricken by the plague.

Notes

• Lois Lane mentions to the Flash that she may be working out of one of Galaxy Communications newspapers in Central City
  by the end of the month. However, this doesn’t sit too well with Iris
  Allen, who accuses Lois of being a “super-hero groupie” and potentially
  chasing after the Flash the way she became infamous for doing over
  Superman in Metropolis.
• The issue fails to explain how trace particles of Green Kryptonite would be present in the lava of the volcano when all Green K on Earth was converted into iron in Superman #233 (in Italy in SUPWILL1S #4) and more Green K had yet to explicitly arrive on Earth since then. However, the point is visited in Superman #315 (in Italy in SUPCEN #29).
• The last .30 cent issue.

Synopsis

Superman
returns home to find a strange, elderly man in his apartment. Within
two seconds Superman goes out, changes clothes, goes back to his
apartment and knocks the man out stealthily. As Clark leaves to get
smelling salts, a blurry, female-looking phantom appears over the man.

Clark gets the man come to. He explains he is Jackson Porter,
Clark’s new neighbor, and claims he came over to borrow a hammer and
found the door open, but Clark grows suspicious. No one of his locks
have been forced, but he is sure he locked up before leaving his
apartment. After an awkward conversation, Porter returns to his
apartment, adding his wife Katie is a big fan of news anchor Clark Kent.

Later, a strange phantom is seen terrorizing the streets of Metropolis. Morgan Edge
is angry that the phantom was seen floating near the apartment of his
“star reporter” Clark Kent, and Kent failed to put together a story on
the incident. Clark decides to investigate the matter on his own as
Superman. Later, when Clark Kent returns home, he finds out that Mr.
Porter’s wife passed away fifteen years ago, long before he started out
his anchorman career, which contradicts Potter’s earlier statement.

Meanwhile, Mr. Potter is talking with a phantom he believes to be
his wife. Suddenly, the ghost vanishes when she feels someone is
coming. Mr. Potter welcomes Clark Kent at the same time the ghost
appears floating several blocks away.

Clark is talking to Mr. Potter, who tells his deceased wife’s
spirit still keeps him company and in fact she was the one wanted him to
move there, when he hears screams and runs off.

Superman finds the ghost wreaking havoc and attacks, but the
phantom is not only strong but also invulnerable. Then the blurry mist
surrounding the mysterious phantom vanishes, and she reveals to be Faora Hu-Ul, an escaped criminal from the Phantom Zone.
She has figured out a way to slip and out of the Zone at will and has
spent several days testing her new powers, wrapping himself in Phantom
Zone mists to conceal herself from Superman. However, she’s now ready to
put her master plan in motion. Before Superman can stop her, she fades
back into the Zone.

As Superman ponders about his newest enemy, Faora flies to the
apartment of Jackson Porter, where she has been masquerading as his
wife’s ghost since Mr. Porter unknowingly holds the key which allows her
to leave the Zone.

“The Atom’s Phantom Doublen!” / COPIA CONFORME

Featured Characters:

• Atom

Antagonists:

• Phantom Ray Palmer
• Crooks

Synopsis

While conducting an experiment in his lab, Ray Palmer
is caught in an explosion which causes him to be bombarded with
radiation. While unconscious this radiation creates a phantom version of
Ray, who initially tries to kill the original, but decides to wait
until he can be alone to investigate his current condition.

The phantom Ray gets his chance when Ray gets a phone call from
the police asking him to track down a stolen scientific device. As the
real Ray Palmer goes after the crooks as the Atom, the phantom Ray
learns that he only has a few hours to live unless he uses a device
(fashioned out of an opal ring) to switch places with the real Ray
Palmer. He also learns that they are mentally linked and that any harm
caused to one is felt by the other.

After the crooks are dealt with, the phantom Ray (also with his
own set of Atom powers) tries to use the opal device to replace the real
Ray. During their fight, Ray manages to get a hold of the device and
toss it into a roaring fire place. With his phantom unable to get the
ring without horribly burning himself, the Atom turns his phantom’s size
changing device on full blast and wrecks it, shrinking his double into
nothingness.
