From Superman #689, as Mon-El travels the world, seeing the sights and saving the day:

I meet a hero named Von Hammer in Bonn, Germany.Though he isn’t a superhero, like my other new friends.No, Will Von Hammer is a private detective.… with a lot of wit and a little invulnerability due to his mother (an American soldier stationed here when she met the father of Von Hammer), whose grandfather happened to be an old-time superhero named Stormy Foster.We fought the super-powered muscle of a crime-lord as part of a case involving a beautiful widow, cursed rubies, and the last will and testament of a billionaire albino midget.It all sounded very exotic to me, but Will said it was just Thursday.

This single page has shot up the list to become one of my all-time favorite comic book pages.
It says a lot, but it makes you imagine so much more.
Come on. Let’s savor this bit one more time:

“… a case involving a beautiful widow, cursed rubies, and the last will and testament of a billionaire albino midget.”

I. Fucking. Love. Comics.
