“Your World or Your Life, Superman-- One Must Die!”

A phone booth engulfed in roaring flames makes for a striking cover on this 1983 DC comic, as Clark Kent is caught mid-change — his Superman costume visible beneath his open shirt — with the blazing tagline "Caught in the Act!" adding a real sense of urgency. Paris Cullins and Dick Giordano deliver a wonderfully tense scene that plays on Superman's most vulnerable secret: that split second between mild-mannered reporter and Man of Steel. With Cary Bates scripting and Curt Swan on interior art, this May 1983 issue promises the kind of classic Superman drama the title was known for.
