“The Most Dangerous Man on Earth!”

Superman soars straight toward the reader high above a city's rooftops, fists clenched and cape billowing dramatically against a grey urban skyline — it's a thrillingly immediate image from the cover pencils of Neal Adams, inked by Murphy Anderson and Jack Adler. The bold taunt at the bottom — "Wipe that smile off your face, Superman! You've just become… The Most Dangerous Man on Earth!" — promises a Superman story with real stakes, while a corner blurb announces the bonus arrival of The Human Target. December 1972 DC at its most confident, with interior work by the reliable team of writer Cary Bates and artist Curt Swan.
