It was late 1983 or early 1984 that I first read about Centralia, the small town in Pennsylvania under which a coal mine fire has burned since 1962. At the time, I was one of the regular writers of Superman and having the Man of Steel tackle such a problem made for the interesting beginning for an adventure. So, Supes flew off to “Coaltown” and used his heat vision to create a firebreak in the vein of coal so that the fire burned itself out.Anything Goes: Centralia
