Superman in the Seventies #[nn]
☆ Be the first to reviewThis 2000 collection from DC gathers a selection of Superman stories originally published in the 1970s, showcasing the Man of Steel's evolution during a transformative decade for comics. It includes work from notable creators of the era, reflecting shifts in tone and style as the character moved from Silver Age whimsy toward more grounded, character-driven narratives. The volume offers a snapshot of Superman's adventures across various titles, capturing the spirit of the period without focusing on a single arc or storyline.
In "Make Way for Captain Thunder!", writer Cary Bates and the legendary art team of Curt Swan and Joe Giella deliver a heartfelt, retro-inspired twist on Superman’s legacy, set on Earth-2 in the 1950s. When Clark Kent loses all memory of being Superman, his transformation into a fearless reporter reignites a romance with Lois Lane—until a mysterious threat from the past forces her to question everything. The story’s emotional core is grounded in a powerful reunion, with Neal Adams’ striking cover capturing the moment of Superman’s return.

Clark Kent, with no memory of his career as Superman, continues the fight against crime as a crusading reporter. His new boldness attracts the attention of Lois, and they marry. When Clark does not realize that Captain Future’s gang has made an attempt on his life, Lois begins to suspect again that Clark is Superman. She seeks out the Wizard, who had claimed responsibility for Superman's disappearance. The Wizard restores Superman, who resumes his career, and re-affirms his marriage vows with Lois.
