“Powerstone”

Superman #252 is one of DC's 100-page Super Spectacular issues from 1972, packing a full century of story and art into a single oversized package. Neal Adams's cover captures the sheer joy of flight, with Superman leading a breathtaking aerial formation that includes Hawkman, Hawkgirl, a blonde female hero, a armored knight on a winged white horse, and several other soaring figures streaking above a city skyline — all united under the banner "The World's Greatest Flying Heroes." Inside, Jerry Siegel and Al Plastino deliver "Powerstone," making this a rewarding read both front to back.
