Superman #279
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeNick Cardy's cover for this September 1974 issue crackles with urgency as Batgirl plunges dramatically through what appears to be a shattered grid high above Metropolis, crying out "Don't save me, Superman — save Metropolis!" while the Man of Steel streaks in to do exactly the opposite. The selfless tension between the two heroes, reunited here "by popular demand" according to the cover itself, sets a genuinely compelling stage for Elliot S! Maggin's story "Menace of the Energy-Blackmailers!" brought to life inside by Curt Swan and Phil Zupa. At just 20 cents, this mid-seventies team-up is a fine snapshot of DC's superhero storytelling at a confident, colorful moment.
