Action Comics #155

A wonderfully atmospheric 1951 cover by Win Mortimer puts Superman at the center of a magazine-world intrigue, as the Man of Steel bursts through oversized fashion and society magazine covers — complete with glamorous cover girls — while a gun-wielding hand looms in the foreground, setting the stage for "The Cover Girl Mystery!" Inside, writer John Broome and artist Al Plastino deliver the full story, and the cover also promises a Vigilante western adventure across the issue's 52 big pages. It's a snappy, pulpy package that captures everything appealing about early-'50s DC storytelling.
