About this ebook

This Superman 3 in 1 story collection contains 3 great Superman adventures: Last Son of Krypton, The Museum Monsters and Toys of Terror. In Last Son of Krypton, a scientist on the distant planet Krypton discovers that his world faces total destruction. Before the planet explodes, he sends his only son into outer space. The child's rocket crashes on a farm in the middle of a Kansas cornfield. A farmer and his wife discover the child and the strange powers that lie in the tiny hands of this last son of Krypton. In The Museum Monsters, Daily Planet reporters Clark Kent and Lois Lane are covering the opening of the new Metropolis Museum when, suddenly, a gigantic skeleton of a blue whale comes to life. With lightning speed, Superman catches the colossal creature, but the magical mischief is far from over. The impish Mr Mxyzptlk has returned from the Fifth Dimension with dozens of troublesome tricks. Even the Man of Steel is helpless against his magic powers! In Toys of Terror, Christmas dreams become nightmares when toys turn deadly. Tiny helicopters attack holiday shoppers. Even a bouncing football is transformed into a deadly weapon. Superman must save Lois Lane and a group of children trapped on a runaway holiday parade float. But when the float moves inside a giant tunnel made of lead, even Superman's super-vision cannot find the victims. Only one person can be behind all the mayhem - the Toyman!
