    Lois suspects that Clark Kent is Superman. A vicious criminal uses innocent people, trapped by hypnotic power, who are armed with a bomb apparatus that makes it possible for them to rob without opposition from the police. Superman must solve a series of bold crimes that were pulled by ungainly men who look anything but formidable. Lex Luthor survives his execution in the electric chair, which only makes him more powerful.

    1. Man Or Superman? (Superman vs The Talon) -- Superman has his hands full trying to stop a sinister villain named 'The Talon' who doesn't care how many innocents have to die for him to achieve his goals. But, to make matters worse, Lois Lane now suspects that he is really Clark Kent!
    2. The Human Bomb (Superman vs Watkins)
    3. G-Man
    4. Muscles For Sale (Superman)
    5. Rollin' Stone (gag strip by Ray Gill)
    6. Killer's Guns (full text story)
    7. When Titans Clash (Superman vs Lex Luthor : continued from Action Comics #47 - Powerstone) Reprinted in Superman #252 - Superman with the World's Greatest Flying Heroes!
