... y gets towed along into the 30th Century. With everyone reliable away, Superman has the Subs put Ambush Bug under house arrest. Great hilarity ensues, mostly at the expense of the poor Subs. Kupperberg gets another crack at Ambush Bug in _Supergirl_ #16. The running joke here is that AB doesn't recognize Supergirl and thinks that something strange has happened to Superman's look and memory (in fairness, they did have red kryptonite in those days!). While lacking Giffen's wit, the story is a nice se ...

... regime emphasized that Superman was now the sole survivor of Krypton (no Krypto, Kandorians, or Phantom Zone criminals -- and no cousin Kara), John Byrne still managed to reintroduce a new version of Supergirl. Supergirl first appeared in _Superman_ #16 (story and pencils by John Byrne, with inks by Karl Kesel). While most of the issue dealt with (as the cover says) "the perfidious perils of the pusillanimous Prankster!" (a fun read by the way), the final two pages had a team of scientists investig ...

... (and Plastic Man), he also said there will be plenty of guest stars. Waid said, "I think Steel has a place on the team, and I think Atom has a place on the team." And the JLA/JSA crossover, set to occur around _JLA_ #45 and #46 and _JSA_ #15 and #16, will bring back Hawkman and iron out the continuity confusion that has been plaguing him for so long.

... , the club breaks up. But Superman's cleverness has set Lois on about him again and caused her to dump Clark. "I give up!" he says. "I can't win." Advice to the lovelorn is all well and good, but Superman's real metier is fighting crime. In _Action_ #165 from February 1952, Superman had to track down the Crime Czar, but first he had to deal with "The Man who Conquered Superman". The story begins when Perry orders Clark to track down the mysterious new Crime Czar. At the same time, astronomers sight ...

... e interesting when the focus is on the man rather than the feats. Jurgens does a nice job here, showing the human side of the hero. Louise Simonson and Jurgens each take part in writing about the issue of wife-beating in _Superman: The Man of Steel_ #16 and _Superman_ #72. The tale, titled "Crisis At Hand", hearkens back to _Action Comics_ #1, where Siegel and Shuster had Superman deal harshly with a wife-beater. In "Crisis At Hand", Superman is unable to help a neighbour who is beaten by her husba ...

This was followed by the appearance of Antara, who claimed to be a Kryptonian in _Action_ #161, but in reality was only an Earth gangster trying to put one over on the Man of Steel. In January of 1952, Superman had to worry when "The Lost Secrets of Krypton" fell into the hands of his arch-enemy, Luthor (_Superman_ #74). Under a spectacular ...
