DC Comics Presents #50

The 50th Golden Jubilee issue of DC Comics Presents poses a delicious puzzle right on the cover by Rich Buckler and Frank Giacoia: if Superman himself is being blasted off his feet by the eerie, skull-faced Atomic Skull, can Clark Kent — shown squaring up with fists raised on the right — really be the Man of Steel's best hope? The cover's twin taglines play up the absurdity and excitement perfectly, hinting at a story that puts both identities to the test against one genuinely unsettling villain. Rounding out the celebration is a promised two-page pin-up spotlighting Superman and 65 of his co-stars — a fine way to mark a milestone issue in 1982.
