Action Comics #428

Celebrating 35 years of the Man of Steel, this October 1973 issue poses a quietly striking question right on its Nick Cardy and Murphy Anderson cover: two kids on a city sidewalk — a dog at their feet, a third figure visible in the background — gaze at a bold street poster reading "The Amazing Superman" and wonder aloud, "Gee, I wonder whatever happened to him?" It's a clever, street-level image that makes Superman's absence feel as big as his presence. The issue also bundles in backup features starring Green Arrow and Black Canary, delivering solid value at just 20 cents.
