Superman #275
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeReporter Lola Barnett takes center stage at her broadcast desk, breathlessly announcing an "electrifying exclusive" — that the world's greatest hero has thrown away his career — while a framed scene behind her shows Superman in a dramatic struggle, his cape flying as he grapples with a suited figure amid crackling energy. Nick Cardy's cover art for this May 1974 issue perfectly frames the tension between Superman's public image and whatever crisis has pushed him to the brink. With Elliot S! Maggin scripting and the Curt Swan/Dick Giordano art team inside, Superman #275 pairs sharp visual storytelling with a genuinely compelling hook.

Superman visits an orphanage in Smallville and tells the children there a story that his mother Lara had told him on Krypton. Princess Reena goes into the glass forest and sees a thought monster. The monster chases the Princess up a glass tree where she sees a kiri-bird. She tries to tell the bird that she needs help. The bird flies off and pesters a tree-sounder called El-Kin who thinks he hears the bird say that Reena needs help. He follows it, sees the monster and chases it away. El-Kin and the Princess are soon married. The kiri-bird is often seen in the garden but never speaks again.
