Action Comics #566

Set against a lush tropical backdrop, this April 1985 issue of Action Comics pits Superman against the barrel-chested Captain Strong — a sailor in a striped shirt and white cap who boldly declares he's the one guy who can take the Man of Steel down. A mysterious robed figure in purple lurks to the side, apparently the one who conjured this clash, making the cover by Marshall Rogers and Jerry Ordway a genuinely fun three-way tableau of tension and bravado. "Traumas in the Bahamas!" promises exactly the kind of colorful, sun-soaked Superman adventure that made mid-'80s DC such a good time.
