Superman enters the post World War II era with this high quality collection of adventures, most of which have never been reprinted before. The Man of Steel's stories take on a more whimsical tone, as he helps out "accidental magicians" Hocus and Pocus, and puts a stop to the nuisances of The Prankter and Mr. Mxyztplk. Plus, Superman keeps Inspector Hawkins from learning his secret identity, meets a writer who turns criminal in the name of research, and helps out a group of lumberjacks.
