The Man of Steel's "Golden Age" adventures continue in Part 2 of a 3-part story! The world of 1938 has a champion—the 1/8-of-a-mile leaping, shells-exploding-on-his-chest Superman? He's in the Warsaw Ghetto, fighting the fascism that heralds the beginning of U.S. involvement in World War II! Are even Superman's powers enough against a world gone mad?

    This issue gives a more accurate view of Nazi cruelty than was allowed in the golden age, but then comics were generally aimed at and read by kids then. As you read this issue you find yourself wishing there really was a Superman then, and cheer as he overpowers the Nazis and everything they can throw at him. The golden age Story in this title was my favorite in this crossover, which spanned a different era in each Superman title.
