“Superman Versus the Futuremen, Chapter 1”

From April 1959, this issue of DC's Superman promises a great 2-part novel with "Superman Duels the Futuremen!" — and the cover by Curt Swan and Stan Kaye delivers an immediately gripping setup: the Man of Steel is bound tight by a spiraling golden coil, his expression tense as he admits even his Superman powers can't free him from a super-trap set by villains from the year 2,000, whose futuristic craft hovers ominously in the background. It's a wonderfully inventive Silver Age scenario that mixes time-travel menace with a rare moment of Superman rendered genuinely helpless, written by Bill Finger with interior art by Wayne Boring and Stan Kaye.
