“The Mystery Magician”

Supergirl takes center stage in this 1970 DC gem, and the cover by Curt Swan and Murphy Anderson sets up a genuinely wild scenario: the Maid of Might extends a hand toward a wide-eyed young man who's already beginning to turn to stone, while a field full of similarly petrified silhouettes stretches out behind them. The story banner — "Supergirl's Jilted Boy Friends!" — and her cheerfully menacing declaration about her personal "rock garden" make this one of the more memorably offbeat covers of its era. Inside, writer Cary Bates and artist Kurt Schaffenberger deliver "The Mystery Magician," a story that looks every bit as entertainingly strange as the cover promises.
