“Mr. Mxyztplk Returns!”

Superman #272 is a 100-page Super Spectacular devoted entirely to magic, and Nick Cardy's cover makes that theme immediately clear with a colorful grid of vignettes showcasing the Man of Steel alongside Green Lantern, Jimmy Olsen, and the magical duo Hocus and Pocus. Teased stories include a Beauty-and-the-Beast-style adventure with Superman, a Green Lantern team-up with Zatanna against Warlock, a Jimmy Olsen tale involving Pandora's Box, and the mischievous imp Mr. Mxyztplk himself lurking at the bottom of the cover. For fifty cents in 1974, readers got an impressive anthology of supernatural hijinks anchored by Gardner Fox, Gil Kane, and Sid Greene's interior work.
