The Super-Key to Fort Superman
Storyline

Batman has broken into Superman's Fortress of Solitude as a birthday prank, so Superman searches the place for clues.

Story Notes

Superman's original Fortress appeared in Superman #58 (May 1949), no resemblance to the current version. Called Fort Superman on the cover, inside it's called the Fortress of Solitude. Though the fortress key on the cover is shown as skeleton key, in this story the classic square edged version is shown. The lower right corner of the splash page, which depicts Superman sitting in a chair and using his super-vision, is used as the illustration that appears at the top of the Metropolis Mailbag letter column in Action Comics #245-271 and Superman #124-145.
