From May 1969, this DC issue puts Superman in an extraordinary military predicament with "The Soldier of Steel!" Joe Kubert's cover art captures the Man of Steel in combat gear, facing down a colossal stone giant looming through smoke and chaos, while fallen soldiers lie scattered on the battlefield around him. Superman's dialogue balloon — wrestling with orders to destroy the giant versus his code against killing — sets up a compelling moral tension that leaps right off the cover.
