Superman #340

Superman barely escapes disintegration on this October 1979 cover, diving at super-speed as a glowing, yellow-suited villain — N.R.G.-X, the Atomic Destroyer — unleashes a devastating energy blast that tears through the street around him. José Luis García-López's cover art crackles with kinetic energy, capturing the Man of Steel mid-dodge while panicked bystanders scatter in the chaos below. "The Night of the Walking Bomb!" promises a threat powerful enough to reduce even Superman to atoms, and the cover makes that danger feel absolutely real.
