Action Comics #175

From 1952, this issue of Action Comics features a wonderfully tense cover by penciler Wayne Boring and inker Stan Kaye, showing Superman bracing against a massive spinning disc-like weapon hurled his way inside a National Bank Vault, while a bald, suited villain cackles that it's "only ONE of my Super-Men!" — with a green-costumed figure lurking behind the vault door. The featured story, "5 Against Superman!" by writer Dick Wood and artist Bob Brown, promises the Man of Steel facing not one but five formidable adversaries. With a ten-cent cover price and a bonus Tommy Tomorrow, Space Planeteer backup, this issue packs a lot of 1952 excitement into a single package.
