Superman #270
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe December 1973 cover of Superman #270 makes quite a first impression: Nick Cardy's art drops the Man of Steel and a sword-swinging, flame-wielding Viking warrior right into the gaping maw of a massive green sea monster, while ordinary city pedestrians scramble in the foreground below. Both heroes exchange determined words in their speech balloons, hinting at a spirited rivalry over who gets to rescue the imperiled bystanders. Featuring "The Viking from Valhalla!" and scripted by Elliot S! Maggin with interior art by Murphy Anderson, this Bronze Age gem captures everything that made 1970s DC storytelling so irresistible.

When the plans for a new highway go right through the Kent home in Smallville, Clark returns for one last visit. Pete Ross sees Clark and recalls how he recommended the highway be put through the Kent home to destroy any remaining evidence of Clark's double identity there. But once he meets up with Clark and realizes Clark has taken care of the evidence and wishes to keep his childhood home, he regrets the decision. Clark leads Pete to "discover" Native American artifacts near the Kent property, which necessitates diverting the highway and saves the Kent home.
