    Short summary describing this issue.

    The Terrible Toyman last edited by gourley85 on 07/18/23 03:47AM View full history

    The Flash has Captain Cold and Gorilla Grodd. Batman has the Joker and Two-Face. Superman has Lex Luthor and…the terrible Toyman? Take a look inside the mind of one of Superman's strangest and most twisted adversaries as the original Toyman, Winslow Schott, returns to Metropolis. Plus, an alien who is everything Superman isn't is heading towards Earth. And he's not alone.

    This issue goes in depth into Toyman's past, his psyche and his motivation. Visit Toyman in his first days incarcerated, to his days as a super-villain.
