“The Starry-Eyed Siren of Space!”

Superman #243 (October 1971) poses an irresistible mystery right on its cover: a green-clad woman holds the Man of Steel in a tight embrace, and the bold copy asks who this "mystery woman" could be that has captured Superman's heart — and soul. Neal Adams and Dick Giordano deliver a striking cover image, their confident linework giving the clinch a genuine emotional charge that pulls you straight in. Inside, Cary Bates scripts "The Starry-Eyed Siren of Space!" with art by Curt Swan and Murphy Anderson, and the issue also boasts a special Silver Anniversary Superman story — making this an especially packed installment from DC's early-'70s run.
