This is a vintage DC Comics Superman comic book, featuring a prominent sponsorship by Radio Shack. The cover clearly states 'COMPLIMENTS OF Radio Shack' and 'The biggest name in little computers'. The vibrant cover art depicts Superman in flight, dynamically holding aloft a green car from which a man and a woman are falling, amidst swirling water or air, with city buildings in the background. A speech bubble is partially visible, reading 'THIS IS SUPERMAN'S LAST HEROIC ACT! AFTER HE BLOWS AWAY THE TORNADO, HE WON'T BE ABLE TO THINK STRAIGHT!'. The lower section of the cover highlights 'THE COMPUTERS THAT SAVED METROPOLIS!' as the story title, with '* STARRING * THE TRS-80 COMPUTER WHIZ KIDS!' also displayed. Illustrations of two children (a girl and a boy) and a hooded character holding golden coins are present. A vintage computer setup, including a monitor and keyboard, is also depicted. The comic book cover shows some visible edge wear, consistent with a used item, but the colors remain bright and clear. The item is made of paper.
