  • wiki: link

Superman Saturday takes us back to the 1950s and a strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. “Night of Terror” is an interesting episode of Adventures of Superman as neither Clark (George Reeves) nor Superman play much of a role until the final few minutes. While out of the city, Lois (Phyllis Coates) stumbles into a pair of criminals just after a murder. Her call for help doesn’t reach Clark or Superman, but it does reach Jim Olson (Jack Larson) who arrives at the roadside motel and is mistaken for the young assassin the syndicate has sent to take care of the women.

Jenny Sparks #5

Taking break from the standoff between Jenny Sparks and Captain Atom, Jenny Sparks #5 works as something of an origin issue offering flashbacks to both Captain Atom’s origins and to Jenny Sparks’ recruitment by Superman and Batman. The latter provides the big laughs of the issue while the former helps reintroduce the character of Atom and restate the challenges Jenny has in dealing with him through her discussion of one of the hostages whose cancer he cured.
