“The Crater That Was Keystone City”

Power Girl takes center stage in this April 1978 installment of DC's long-running Showcase series, trapped alongside two JSA allies — Robin and the Flash — in what appears to be a villain's mechanical grip, with an entire city laid out vulnerably below. The cover's speech bubbles make the stakes bracingly clear: a gloating enemy threatens to let the city die unless Power Girl and her Justice Society companions can break free. Joe Staton and Dick Giordano deliver a tense, high-altitude scene that gives this Kryptonian powerhouse a genuine moment in the spotlight she richly deserves.
