Synopsis:
A fashion cruise, holding Lana Lang and Lois Lane, capsizes and the two are stranded on an island with a crazy guy and some ancient alien god.
Description: Perry forces Lane to cover a fashion show cruise, which she at first declines, but accepts. Soon she's having a great relaxing time. Suddenly, a flaming spacecraft causes the cruise boat to capsize, spilling both women into the ocean.
Washed onto a deserted island, Lois and Lana meet an old hermit whose wife died there years ago. The hermit shows them a prehistoric stone shrine to a monster called Tikamok. Upon arriving, the statue comes alive and the hermit, believing the legends to be true, attempts
to sacrifice Lana and Lois to the stone monster in an effort to bring his wife back to life.
Superman battles briefly with the stone monster before the giant turns away and heads towards the ocean. Superman's sudden appearance distracts the old man long enough for Lois to knock him unconscious with a branch. Supes later explains that the stone monster was just
waiting for its ride, which was the flaming craft that fell into the water. (thanx to Fandom's Superman Section)
Comments:
What is this? Neil Vokes art gets worse and the story barely makes a lick of sense. I comment earlier on how Neil Vokes' art was improving a bit, but here it falls down to his lowest low. The quality is even worse than the art he did for Superman
Adventures #20. That's how bad it had gotten. The story isn't much better. It just sucks. This has been a bad month for Superman comments which will hopefully be cured by Millar's brief return next month.
Rating: 
Note: The "Watch Superman on Kids'WB!" is no longer on the cover.
