"The Outlaw Fort Knox" was a fun "Superman as Genie" story, in which we see Superman forced to grant gangster Pete Corey's wishes. Jimmy Olsen's ideas of how Superman will grant those wishes in unwanted ways mirrors the way evil genies in stories might do it, and we, as readers, are surprised to see Superman grant those wishes in a seemingly-straightforward manner. The twist at the end shows that it wasn't quite so straightforward as we thought.
ReplyDelete"The Menace of Gold Kryptonite" was a good story in the "Tales of Kryptonite" series (which, at the time, I don't think I really understood was a series). I don't remember if we ever got to see any further stories of Jay-Ree and Joenne, but I hope there are more stories of them. They made a tremendous sacrifice by losing their Kryptonian powers and exiling themselves from Kandor to preserve the genetic heritage of that city, and they deserve a happier ending than life in a doll house.
"Private Kent, The Fighting Marine" certainly shows Clark's cleverness, but the positive story he wrote about Sgt. Brewster seems too much like a "puff piece" for a Drill Instructor who clearly was too harsh and unfair.
