Synopsis:
In 2056, Prof. Todd recalls the first tour of the Seven Wonders of the Universe, in which the senior cadet from the Planeteer Prep School who solves a mystery will be promoted to the Planeteer Regulars. Tommy Tomorrow correctly deduces that the secret is a comet whose tail causes things to temporarily become invisible. He becomes the first cadet ever to solve the mystery.

Notes:
(1) This flashback tale tells about cadet Tommy Tomorrow's graduation from the Planeteer Prep School. (2) Chronologically, the events in Showcase #41 follow the flashback portion of this story. (3) According to the editorial page in DC Special #27 (Apr-May 1977), the story in that issue occurs in 2056 during the height of Tommy's career, placing it somewhere between Action Comics #212 and #226. Given that the Tommy Tomorrow of 2056 is not depicted in his own feature in Action Comics #224 (he appears only in flashback to an earlier time), it is logical to assume that his exploits in DC Special #27 occur during that absence. (4) A statue is depicted honoring Capt. Jon Hale as the first spaceman to land on Venus in 1981.
