“Puzzle of the Wild World!”

Action Comics #388 from 1970 delivers one of the more delightfully bewildering covers of the era — Superman stands triumphant in a convertible decorated for a wedding, surrounded by a bride, an older couple, cheering Legion members, a cluster of colorful villains, and a mysterious blonde in the foreground clutching confetti, while a bold caption insists "This is NOT an April Fool Story!" The car's bumper reads "Argo City or Bust," and the whole chaotic scene practically demands you flip to the first page. Cover pencils by Curt Swan and inks by Murphy Anderson give the image that crisp, dynamic polish that defined DC's house style at its finest.
