I'm No Angel (1933) Wesley Ruggles

January–February 1950. Superman meets Orson Welles in the cover story of SUPERMAN #62. This is bizarre little story, because while the plot (which has Welles accidentally sent to Mars in a rocket and embroiled in a Martian plan to invade the Earth) is obviously riffing on Welles' famous 1938 Mercury Theatre radio adaptation of THE WAR OF THE WORLDS, the story was also timed to promote Welles' starring role in the 1949 Gregory Ratoff movie BLACK MAGIC — based on an Alexander Dumas story, with Welles as Cagliostro — and so Welles wears his movie costume throughout. There's even a cameo by his costar, Nancy Guild.
