"The Big Boom" is written and penciled by Jack Kirby and inked by Vince Colletta. Continuing from the last issue, while Superman, Jimmy, and the Newsboy Legion remain trapped in a cocoon, the Guardian and the original Newsboys lead a group of soldiers along the Zoomway intent on stopping the creature which threatens the Project's nuclear reactor.
Simyan and Mokkari send more of the creatures to fight the soldiers. Superman finally breaks free, but the four-armed terror has already damaged the reactor beyond repair. To save Metropolis, Superman throws the reactor down a deep shaft. The creatures follow the reactor which inevitably explodes without endangering the city above.
