Little Green Men (Superman)

DC Super Heroes: Superman

by Matthew K. Manning, Erik Doescher, Mike DeCarlo

Taking a rare day off from the DAILY PLANET newspaper, CLARK KENT relaxes with his new sci-fi novel, Little Green Men. Then suddenly, the mild-mannered reporter hears a scream! Unable to ignore his other job as SUPERMAN, the world's greatest hero, he soars toward the cry for help, rescuing a construction worker from a near fatal fall. The interruptions, however, don't stop there, and the MAN OF STEEL'S lazy day quickly becomes stranger than fiction.
