Superman #273

A crowd of Metropolis citizens jeers at a dejected Superman near the city limits sign, pointing skyward toward a confident new super-hero soaring overhead — it's a striking image of the Man of Steel facing an unexpected public relations crisis, rendered with expressive energy by cover artist Nick Cardy. The taunting dialogue ("You're not number 1 in our book anymore!") sets up a compelling underdog scenario for the Man of Steel. Inside, writer Elliot S! Maggin and artist Curt Swan, inked by Dick Giordano, bring the story "The Wizard with the Golden Eye!" to life in this 1974 DC gem.
