The Adventures of Superman.

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.

Yes, it's Superman.

Strange visitor from another planet who
came to Earth with powers and abilities

far beyond those of mortal men.

Superman. who can change the course of
mighty rivers, 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, justice,

and the American way.

The Bobsey twins.

I trust I'm not interrupting any plans.

Oh, that's all right, Chief.

We've been waiting for you an hour,
Clark. You're harder to keep track of

than Superman.

Uh, yes, Lois. What is it, Chief?

Oh, merely a stroke of genius.

An idea for a layout for the Sunday
supplement.

And I want you and Lois and Flash Bob
Olsen to cover it. Right, Chief. Come

on, gang, let's go.

Olsen.

Would it upset you very much to find out
what you're supposed to do before you

start doing it?

Me?

Uh, yes, that might help.

Now, there's a deserted island in the
Pacific called Island Able.

It's a naval target area.

The fleet's going to shell it with
everything they have.

I want you on that island taking
pictures.

But, Chief... You mean you want us to be
on the island while they're actually

shelling it? I just hope there's a
Monday supplement telling how we gave

our lives for the Sunday supplement.

Don't tempt me.

What I want are pictures of that island
before and after the bombardment.

Oh, that's different, Chief. That would
make a wonderful layout.

But why don't you let me handle this by
myself? You see... Oh, no, you don't,

Clark. I've always wanted to visit one
of those lush tropical isles.

Swarming with lush tropical native
princesses.

The island is deserted, of course.

Now, I thought you could take a plane to
Hawaii and there charter a seaplane and

go the rest of the trip. You can fly one
of those things, can't you, Kent? Why,

of course, sir, that's no problem.

But I thought I could do this much
faster alone.

You can't make it any faster alone than
with us, so quit trying to hog the whole

story.

All right Lois now if you'll all sit
down I'll give you the details and you'd

better listen unless you want to be part
of the target Now here starting here

Golly, isn't this dreamy?

Yes, it is.

Unfortunately, Lois, we're here to work,
or at least Flashball Bolson is.

Well, I'm ready.

Where do I start?

Well, I suggest that we start by looking
for some decent places to take pictures.

A lot of territory to cover.

Mm-hmm, and don't forget we have to be
out of here by 4 o'clock.

Yeah, and then come back tomorrow to see
what's left.

Forgotten all about the Navy and things
like that.

This seems like something out of the
past.

Well, unfortunately, it's not, so shall
we go?

Oh, it's Bartkins.

Ha! What are the rest of them? Uh, the
rest of whom?

I asked you first.

Ah, so you did, so you did. Oh, this is
all of them. I mean, we're all... this

is us.

Oh, dear.

My great-great-grandfather captured a
hundred people at a time. Well, uh, I'd

be very glad to go back and get some
more, if only you'd excuse me. Easy does

it, laddie.

I say, Captain, don't you think these
three blighters are better than nothing?

I suppose so. What do you do with people
except capture them?

Ah, yes.

I have it.

We'll court-martial them.

What for?

Mutiny, you black-hearted idiot.

Or can you suggest anything better?

Excuse me, sir, but just who are you?

Aye, sir, I'm Captain Blood.

This is Captain Thud, Captain Scud,
Captain Mud, and Lieutenant Schultz.

How do you do, Schultz?

Schultz.

What I wanted to say was, what are you
doing in these costumes?

We lost our ship in a hurricane.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

300 years ago.

You don't look a day over 50. I'm not.

My great, great, great, great
grandfather lost the ship.

Careless of him, wasn't it?

Dreadful.

Clark, I don't know who these people
are, but we've got to get them off the

island before four.

Let's not mention until we find out what
they're up to.

I've heard of people seeing spots before
their eyes before.

Pirates. Excuse me, Captain, but
shouldn't we get on with the capturing?

Oh, dear, dear, dear me. Yes, yes.

Well, now, let me see.

How would you like to be captured?

We have three different methods to
choose from.

Well, if you don't mind, sir, I think
we'll just go along peacefully.

Peacefully? Yes.

Oh, no, no. That's not one of the
methods.

I tell you, we'll tie their hands just
for the sake of appearances. Of course.

No lusty pirate songs?

Oh, no, no, we never learned any. Oh.

Come with me.

March.

High sailors stump around the world four
times already.

Hey, people just like us.

They had a way to get on the island.
Maybe they got a way to get off.

Maybe take us with them, huh?

All we want's their transportation.

Set up the cobs, old champs, before I
throw you to the sharks.

Are you kidding?

I'm Tyler.

That's riffles.

Welcome to paradise.

How do you do? Are you pirates, too?
Well, we're apprentice pirates.

How did you get here?

We were flying to China and our plane
conked out and we had to ditch it. We

washed up here three years ago.

Well, I hope I get a chance to talk to
you later.

I hope so, too.

Come, come. We've no time to waste.

Line up before the bar of justice.

Clark, they wouldn't really do anything,
would they?

I don't know, Lois. They've been there
so long.

Generations, probably.

They really believe this nonsense.

What I don't like is the looks of those
two.

Now, is it true that you were cast
ashore from one of his majesty's ships?

No, sir. We came by seaplane.

Oh.

Make a note of that.

I already have.

Captain Thug, read the charges.

Mutiny, Captain.

It's the only booming charge we have.

Mutiny.

This calls for stringing them from the
yardarm.

I order them strung from the yardarm.

They're crazy enough to do it. Oh, in
the spirit of good, clean fun, of

course. I see, Captain. There aren't any
yardarms.

Oh, dear, what a pity.

Then they'll have to settle by walking
the plank.

Captain, our ancestors ran out of planks
200 years ago.

Oh, bother.

We'll lop their blooming heads off.

You think they'd really do it? It's a
tough way to lose your head.

Superman 5,000 miles away in Metropolis.

Clark, for once, I wish you really were
Superman.

Yes, I wish I were Superman, too,
without... What do you mean?

Well, I mean I wish I could turn into
Superman.

Well, wishing isn't going to help.

Well, let's see if a little 20th century
psychology will.

Now, just a minute. You claim this to be
a pirate court-martial. All right.

How do we know that you're really
pirates?

Odds, Bodkins.

Are you asking us to prove that we're
really pirates?

Naturally.

But there's nothing about it in the
book.

Exactly. So perhaps you aren't. For
example, what do you do here?

What do we do? That's right. What do you
do?

Why, we hunt treasure.

Naturally.

Come with me.

You dropped this, I believe.

Thanks.

Lord, they look real.

They are, Lois. Must be worth a million
dollars.

There. Now, are you satisfied?

Well, not exactly.

You see, genuine pirates usually bury
treasure.

Oh, dear.

But if you insist, Captain Thud, order a
treasure party.

Already organized, Captain.

There's some very nice treasure just 20
paces east of Triangle Rock.

Excellent. But, Captain, where did all
this treasure come from in the first

place? Oh, it's always been here.

Naturally. After we dig it all up, we
bury it again for the next generation.

Must lose a lot of treasure that way.

Never looked at it that way before.

This is fantastic.

There are easier businesses than
parroting, but somebody's got to do it.

Shall we go? Let's.

All that trouble we had trying to rob
them banks back home.

And here we got a fortune right in our
midst.

Nothing to spend it on.

Leave it to me.

Those newcomers are dumb, so we've got
to play it careful. But I guarantee you,

the only ones who'll leave this island
alive will be you and me with a bag of

those sparklers.

But if you're just going to bury it
again, why do you dig it up in the first

place? Well, that's a silly question.

What else can we do with a blooming
hose?

Clark, we're really in the middle. The
longer we stall them off, the closer we

come to getting blown to bits by the
Navy.

I know, Lois.

If I could only get off by myself for
just a minute.

What good would that do, Mr. Kent?
Forget it, Clark. There's no way to

contact Superman.

I'm afraid you're right, Lois. I don't
know what good it would do if I could.

Well done, well done.

There.

I must admit it's rather odd looking for
a treasure. Captain, it isn't a

treasure. It's a magnetic mine.

Probably left over from the last war.
Floated here on some high tide.

Oh, then it means we're really pirates.

So we can lock your blooming heads off
after all.

Dig it up, you... Now, wait, wait,
please, wait just a minute. The

detonators in that mine may be rusty,
but all you have to do is just touch

them a certain way and we'll be blown to
bits.

I say, you know, that's hardly cricket.

You know, you're making this up just to
save your lives.

I knew someday I might have to resort to
this. Just a minute. Let me think.

Clark, what are you going to do?

Something rather desperate, I'm afraid,
Lois.

Don't tell me there's really some man in
you after all.

I've got it.

Leave the treasure where it is.

You two stand guard.

We'll go and tend the execution.

Come with me.

Tyler, can't you do something?

Tut-tut, my dear. You'll never feel a
thing.

Neither will you once the Navy begins
shelling this island.

What's that?

Captain, I don't quite know how to tell
you this, but we're running out of time.

What in thunder is it now?

I presume you don't know what a Navy is.
Naturally, His Majesty's Navy has chased

us pirates halfway around the world.
Well, that's fascinating information.

But the biggest Navy in the world is
headed this way, and they're going to

blow this island apart.

I suggest that you abandon ship.

Run? From the Navy?

By the Jolly Roger, never.

But, Captain, you don't understand.
We'll give them a fight before we're

through. Right, Thud? Right, Mud?

Right, Captain. Captain, you can't fight
the United States Navy.

We'll fight any old Navy.

Bring up the artillery.

We'll blow them off the map.

Blew them off the map with that?

This is too good to be true.

Why, it's made to order.

We load up those jewels and snatch that
plane and off we go.

And leave the rest to the United States
Navy.

Well, I don't know if that's such a good
idea.

You leave it to me.

Captain, I'd like to give you a little
advice.

I wouldn't believe any of that stuff
they're telling you. I think they're

trying to trick you into surrendering.

Surrender?

Not at all.

Never.

Attaboy, Captain, because Riffles and I
are with you.

Just one thing, though, in case.

Tie these people up securely and then
send your men out looking for better

fortifications. Excellent idea.

Remind me to promote you to something or
other. You can promote me to

millionaire, Captain.

But, Captain, it would have been much
more fun if we'd lopped off their heads.

Later, Captain, later.

Right now, we have to find Scud and
Schultz and then locate the

fortifications. Here they come now,
Captain.

Riffles, that's a mine, a mine. Let me
out of here.

We brought it with us, Captain.

Too late for it now.

Captain, let me take over here. You've
got a lot of work to do.

Splendid idea.

Take the deck.

Follow me, lads.

Will you bring your supplies to the
Royal Navy?

Oh, my name isn't Captain.

Things wore out. Nice hope. It's rusty.

I'll fix it.

Go load up some of that ice, quick.

Okay.

we ain't gonna be on Easy Street. We're
gonna be able to buy it.

Hey, what are you doing there?

That one with the glasses, a pretty
smooth talker.

He's liable to talk blood out of Stan.

That is, if he's alive, when blood gets
back.

You may be right.

Ragloos, can you hear me?

Clark, can you hear me?

Oh, well, it won't do any good.

Only Superman could get us out of this.

Looks like we've reached the end of our
rope, huh?

Very funny.

Well, thanks a lot for the use of the
airplane.

Come on, let's get that seat planed and
lay him out of here.

We'll never see that island looking the
same again.

Well, maybe someday we won't even have
to practice for war.

I hope so, sir.

I'm sorry, Admiral. I hope I didn't
startle you, sir.

Superman, what are you doing here? It is
highly irregular, you know. I know it

is, sir, but I've come to beg you not to
shell that island.

But, Superman, I have my orders.

Any changes would have to come from
Washington.

We scouted that island carefully, and we
know it's deserted.

I'm afraid it's not, sir. They must have
hidden from your scouting party.

Who? Captain Blood and his pirates.

Let's find Superman.

Pirates, huh?

Yes, sir.

Well, you just run along.

I know it sounds incredible, but you
must believe me. Yeah, well, of course.

Thanks very much for tipping us off.

I can't blame you. I didn't believe it
myself at first.

I must get you some proof. How much time
do I have?

Even you would have to hurry.

I understand he was a fine fellow
before.

Yes, sir.

Well, I guess the string was just too
much for him.

Flag the other ships to stand by.

Yes, sir.

Who's there?

Clark, how did you get untied?

I bet I know.

I thought I heard something a little
while ago, like Superman flying.

Hey, I bet he's on the island. That's
who let you loose.

That's right, Lois. You guessed it.

Where is he now?

It's about time for the showing to
begin.

Even Superman couldn't get us off here
in time.

Well, that's right.

He's got to do something about it right
now. I've got to find the captain.

Excuse me.

No, let him go.

What a waste of time, anyway.

I guess we've about had it this time.

Good.

Where's Park Kent?

Deserted us, as usual. I see. In that
case, I'll depend on you.

I've got to prove that there are pirates
on this island somehow.

All you have to do is take a look.

Jimmy, get your camera.

Well, go without doing anything. Never
mind. Just get it.

Good.

Charge, the rascal!

Bob's out, kids.

I mean, Odds Bodkins.

Blimey, Captain. Looks like we've been
boarded successfully.

Thank heaven.

We don't have to be pirates any longer.

If we don't get off this island soon,
none of us will be anything anymore. I

got it, Superman.

Thank you, Jimmy.

But he's developing it with his X-ray
vision.

It's only a negative.

Maybe it'll convince the Admiral.

Now, if I only have time to...

We'll see about that.

You never look at me like that.

But you're not Superman.

It's incredible.

Shells are bursting in midair.

Somebody must have goofed up the
mechanism.

Something must have gone wrong, sir.

Signal ceasefire.

Return to port for investigation.

Yes, sir.

Every one of those shows in midair. I
don't know what we'd do without him.

Hey, Clark, he missed it again.

Missed what?

Hey, where did Superman go?

You know he never hangs around once his
job is finished, Jimmy.

Oh, I was fortunate enough to capture
these two characters and stop them from

stealing our seaplane.

They did drop the loot, however, in
about 20 fathoms of water, to be exact.

Well, what do we do now with all these
pirates?

Well, I think we'd better leave that up
to the United Nations or our State

Department. With all the gold and
jewels, they're going to be

fantastically wealthy people. Haven't
you heard?

What? When they suspected that Riffles
and Tyler were trying to rob them, they

sunk all their treasure in quicksand on
the other side of the island. There's

millions of dollars gone forever.

Of course, Superman could recover it for
them, but maybe it's just as well this

way.

Wonderful, wonderful.

Great story, beautiful pictures.

You've all outdone yourselves.

Well, thank you, Chief, but really it
was nothing. You can say that again.

Great story. Beautiful pictures.

And do you think for a minute any of our
readers are going to believe this

balderdash? But, Chief, it's true.

You believe it, don't you?

Yeah, sure, sure. I believe it, but I'm
not very bright.

You know what? That's the first time I
ever heard him admit it.

Out! Out!

Get out of here!

Don't miss the next real...

episode in the amazing adventures of
Superman.

Superman is based on the original
character appearing in Superman

magazine.
