Supergirl, Atom-Smasher and some of the team's younger members have monitor duty over the winter holiday, but their night might not be so silent when Girder breaks out of Iron Heights Penitentiary!

There are a few minor artistic gaffes involving Hawkgirl's hair disappearing and reappearing from panel to panel, but nay! Tis' the origin of the Girder that plays a sour note.
