Action Comics #243
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeOne of the more delightfully strange covers of 1958, Action Comics #243 features Superman — transformed into a lion-bodied creature still wearing his iconic cape and costume — gesturing dramatically toward a startled Lois Lane, while his human form stands beside her. A speech bubble spells out the absurd predicament perfectly: a strange fate has changed Superman's form, and now he and Lois must live out a "modern version of Beauty and the Beast." Cover pencils by Curt Swan with inks by Stan Kaye bring a wonderfully expressive energy to this wild transformation premise, teasing the featured story "The Lady and the Lion" with just the right touch of Silver Age charm.
