I like the notion of Superman doubling as the President of the United States, I also like the view of the capital building in the background. This issue would have been published and distributed during the last days of Lyndon Johnson's presidency. Neal Admas and Curt Swan did several covers together on Action Comics, usually Swan's style was more prevalent, but it's hard to distinguish between both artists' signature style on this cover. Not only is this a fantastic cover, it's also a solid piece housed in a vintage CGC holder, with the strong possibility that this issue obtained its grade without the benefit of a press.
