Superman #350

Superman #350 poses a wild visual puzzle right on its cover: a Metropolis skyscraper is literally disappearing around its occupants, leaving dozens of panicked office workers tumbling through open air as the Man of Steel swoops in, visibly grappling with the impossible scale of the crisis. Ross Andru and Dick Giordano stage the chaos with real kinetic energy — figures falling, grasping, and crying out in every direction while Superman's caption asks how he can possibly save hundreds of lives at once. Gerry Conway pairs that cover spectacle with a story titled "Clark Kent's Vanishing Classmates," making this 1980 issue a genuinely intriguing blend of personal mystery and city-wide disaster.
