"How Many Miles to Nowhere Atoll?"

Reviewed by: George O'Connor (LukeSky500@mindspring.com)

A leisure cruise with Lois Lane and Lana Lang on board runs suddenly askew when a flaming spacecraft causes the cruise boat to capsize, spilling both women into the ocean.

Washed onto a deserted island, Lois and Lana meet an old hermit whose wife died there years ago. The hermit shows them a prehistoric stone shrine to a monster called Tikamok. Upon arriving, the statue comes alive and the hermit, believing the legends to be true, attempts to sacrifice Lana and Lois to the stone monster in an effort to bring his wife back to life.

Superman battles briefly with the stone monster before the giant turns away and heads towards the ocean. Superman's sudden appearance distracts the old man long enough for Lois to knock him unconscious with a branch.

Supes later explains that the stone monster was just waiting for its ride, which was the flaming craft that fell into the water.
