Superman #294

A lone Superman stands in a hauntingly deserted cityscape on Ernie Chan's striking cover, the eerie twilight sky and empty streets driving home the desperate plea in his speech bubbles — every man, woman, and child in the world has vanished, and he's begging not to be the last man on Earth. It's a genuinely unsettling image that pairs beautifully with the story title "The Man Who Slept the World Away!" inside, crafted by writer Cary Bates and artist Curt Swan. This December 1975 issue also promises a bonus peek into the private life of Clark Kent — a solid package from DC's Superman line.
