Supermán #589
In "La primera victoria de Luthor," Linda Lara’s ambition takes a dangerous turn when she cheats her way to victory in the Miss Universe contest, only to discover the real prize is being whisked away to compete in an interplanetary beauty pageant. Her triumph is short-lived, though—winning Miss Cosmos brings a shocking transformation, turning her into something far from beautiful. Otto Binder’s story, illustrated with crisp detail by Jim Mooney, finds Superman caught in the aftermath of a scheme that blurs the line between vanity and consequence, all under the iconic cover by Curt Swan and Sheldon Moldoff.
In this brief 1967 humor tale from Supermán #589, Gabino takes a stroll down the street only to have his hat snatched by a playful gust of wind. Determined not to lose it again, he ties the hat securely around his neck—leading to a quietly absurd moment of stubborn practicality.
When Linda Lara discovers the true cost of winning the Señorita Universo title—being whisked away to compete in an interplanetary beauty contest—she cheats to claim victory, only to find her triumph comes with a terrifying twist: the "prize" of Señorita Cosmos transforms her into a grotesque, otherworldly creature. With Dick Malverne, Edna Danvers, Fred Danvers, Stan Wellwood, Jak-Thal, and Zilya caught in the aftermath, the line between glamour and horror blurs in this 1967 Supermán tale.
