This is the epic adventure of a strange visitor from the planet Krypton who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Called Superman, he can leap tall buildings in a single bound, race a speeding bullet to its target, bend steel in his bare hands, and who, disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great Metropolitan newspaper, fights a never-ending battle for truth and justice.
