Lets see, a crimminal side-show front man, a master puppetter and magic. What could not make this an interesting story? The fact that the crimminal uses his forced power of puppet enchantment to try to steal Superman's powers. What person in their right mind would not use this power for other reasons. They clearly state at the beginning of the story, that the puppets are the high-market part of the act, why not continue as such. Last but not least we forget, it never tells us that the crimminal has lost the gained power. Sad, Sad story writing. The book could have at least made it self marketable by running a World of Krypton Story.
