Comments

Superman and Supergirl are said to be on a mission with the Legion of Super-Heroes during the events of this story, although it is not depicted. Presumably, this is the space mission from which they return in the second story in this issue. Also, there is a flasback to an encounter which Jimmy and Supergirl had with space wolves.

More detailed comments coming soon!
