Faster than a speeding bullet. More

powerful than a locomotive.

Able to leap tall buildings at a single

bound.

Look up in the sky.

It's a bird. It's a plane. It's

Superman. It's Superman. Man of gold.

Superman.

Superman, marketed to Earth as an infant

from the distant planet Krypton,

exploded. And Ho disguised as Clark Kent,

wild planet reporter for the Daily

Planet, fights a never-ending battle for

truth, justice, and freedom with

superpowers far beyond those of ordinary

borders. It's open and super,

Superman!

In the peaceful, moonlit countryside near

Metropolis, clouds of black smoke come

surging out of the shaft of an old,

abandoned coal mine.

Moments later, it is followed by billows

of smoke surging out of the deep hole.

which grows brighter and bigger until it

forms itself into a giant phantom of

fire from the molten center of the earth.

Ten miles away, Superman in the guise of

mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent, on a

fishing trip with Jimmy Olsen, has bedded

down for the night. You better get to

sleep, Jimmy. You want to get an early

start, don't you?Oh, sure. But I'm

restless, Mr. Kent. I think I'll stretch

my legs. OK. Don't go too

far, Jimmy.

Well, those stars are out. No rain

tomorrow.

Jeepers. Looks like a forest fire.

I'd better wake Mr. Kent. Now I'll

cover this story myself. Reporter

fights forest fire by Jimmy Olsen.

I guess Jimmy decided to do some

moonlight fishing. He sure is eager.

Boy, oh, boy, what a scoop for a...

Uh-oh, it's getting too close. I gotta go

back.

Yikes!It's a walking fire giant.

It's too late to turn the car.

Wow, is this fire spreading?I got to get

out fast.

Jasper, I'm trapped. And I left

my Superman signal watching the tent.

HmmSmoke.

Great Scott of forest fire. And Jimmy's

out there.

This is a job for Superman.

Up, up, and away! Hey,

furnace!

Superman?But-- but how-- where-- Never

mind that. Come on. Let's get out of this

furnace. Up and

away!

Stay here under the bridge, Jimmy, to

avoid flames. Okay, but but can't you?

I've got work to do. Up, up, and away!

What we need here is a firebreak to keep

it from spreading.

With lightning speed, the Man of Steel

clears a wide path around the raging

inferno, creating a firebreak which

contains the fire as if it were on an

island.

Meanwhile, the flaming fire phantom

crosses the wooden bridge under which

Jimmy is hiding. Bridge!

The bridge is on fire.

It's time now to snuff this thing out.

No good. Maybe I can beat it out.

No good either. And must think of some

other way.

That's a hot flame, and I know just the

thing to cool it.

How about that Superman?He made a

waterfall.

OK, Jimmy, danger's all over.

What was that thing, Superman?A devil or

something?No, Jimmy. Just a mass of

flame from the center of the earth. A

fire that just didn't want to go out.

Well, you sure dampened its spirit.

Gee, Mr. Ked, where were you?I was

worried about you. I'm OK, Jimmy. I

smelled smoke, so I I

ran off and. Well, hid in a cave.

Boy, you're lucky. You missed a

frightening experience. Wow.

Just thinking about it gives me a chill.

Say, if you've got a chill, Jimmy, I

think I ought to build a fire. Oh, no.

I've had plenty of that. Thank you.
