Superman #343 (Jan 1980)
Superman #343
Rating: *
OMG – this is a one star comic. And it only gets that star because of the sweet Curt Swan art (although it is a bit hampered by the inks). Denny O’Neil doesn’t even phone in this issue. This is bad stuff, people. Bad stuff.
Basically, Moximus – a magician from Pompeii – survives into the future to face Superman. He does this because, in the past, he sees a vision of Superman and thinks he is evil. Superman has difficulty defeating Moximus, because of his weakness to magic. Ultimately, Superman wins by showing he is a good guy and Moximus sees the error of his ways.
The only bright spot in the story occurs when a radioactive rocket explodes in the atmosphere and Superman flies around it at super speed to contain the radiation. That was neat.
All lot of formula here: Lois being nosey. Jimmy being silly. And Perry being cranky.
