Superman #334

A villain called Opticus has apparently turned Superman's own heat vision against him — the cover by Ross Andru and Dick Giordano shows the Man of Steel doubled over in agony, hands pressed to his eyes, while flames erupt around him and a purple-suited, globe-headed figure soars triumphantly overhead. A worried Lana Lang stands close by, and the cover teases "Who is the Incredible Opticus?" — daring readers to guess the answer inside. With a story titled "The Man Who Stole Superman's Eyes!" and a creative team featuring Curt Swan, this 1979 issue delivers exactly the kind of imaginative, high-stakes Superman adventure the Bronze Age did so well.
