Action Comics #458
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeA cracking April 1976 entry in DC's long-running anthology, this issue pits Superman against Blackrock — and the cover by Bob Oksner makes the threat immediately vivid: a crackling, electricity-wreathed Superman is sent reeling across a rooftop by a grinning, green-suited villain wielding a glowing rod of raw energy. The cover copy promises Superman is meeting his "newest, most fantastic foe," and that confrontation looks every bit as charged as advertised. Rounding out the package, Green Arrow and Black Canary also appear inside, with the main Superman story — "Make Me a Super-Hero!" — brought to life by writer Elliot S! Maggin and artist/inker Mike Grell.
