Comments:
Part 2. : "The Super-Showdown on Kandor"
The cover incorrectly shows Jimmy calling Superman Nightbird rather than Nightwing.
Superman and Jimmy Olsen were last seen as Nightwing and Flamebird in Superman #158.
Synopsis:
Superman and Jimmy visit Kandor and return to their crimefighting identities of Nightwing and Flamebird. They attempt to track down a super-criminal responsible for the theft of rare relics. Superman becomes ill with Scarlet Jungle Fever, so Jimmy is forced to act alone.
Jimmy befriends a telepathic hound whom he names Nighthound, but together they are unable to stop the super-criminal. When Superman recovers, he helps Jimmy capture the criminal, who is revealed to be Nor Kann, a friend of theirs. Nor Kann was hypnotized by the Superman Revenge Squad in their attempt to kill Superman. Once Nor Kann’s mind is restored, Superman and Jimmy return to Earth.
