The Story of the Century
Clark Kent has revealed himself to the world as Superman, and has devoted himself to helping the citizens of Metropolis. While he can handle just about any situation that the criminal element can think of, the authorities aren't sure what to make of this strangely clad flying man.Meanwhile, Lois Lane is trying to chase down the story. After witnessing his rescue of the Space-Plane Constitution, she gave him the name Superman (which all of the other news outlets are using) but she just can't seem to move fast enough to get the story. Every time she hears about a disaster or a crime, she misses him by minutes. Exasperated she tries to figure out what to do, until Jimmy Olsen casually mentions that she needs to find out where these disasters are going to happen before they take place to find him. How far will Lois go to bag the story?
