Curt Swan cover; origin & 1st app. Brainiac; 1st app. of the shrunken city of Kandor; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 8 (CBI)
Brainiac makes his first appearance in Action Comics #242 as a brilliant alien android with penchant for shrinking cities and storing them in bottles. That also explains why the shrunken Kryptonian city of Kandor make its own debut in this important chapter of Superman lore. Brainiac is now hotly rumored to finally make his big-screen debut in the upcoming Superman: Man of Tomorrow—with the fannish anticipation helping to ensure that Brainiac's early appearances remain great investments!
