1976 Superman DC Comics #302 Seven Foot Two and Still Growing in Excellent condition see photos. In Superman #302 (August 1976), titled "Seven Foot Two and Still Growing!", writer Martin Pasko and artist Curt Swan deliver a classic Bronze Age tale where the Man of Steel faces a bizarre physical crisis. After absorbing cosmic radiation during an orbital mission, Superman begins rapidly shooting up in height, quickly surpassing his usual footprint to reach a towering seven feet two inches—and continuing to expand. Beyond the obvious comedic and logistical nightmare of hiding a giant Clark Kent in Metropolis, the storyline taps into superhero body horror as Superman's increasing mass threatens his strength control, his costume, and his ability to fit into the normal world. Intertwined with a plot involving the villainous Amalak, the issue stands out as a memorable high-concept story that balanced Silver Age-style absurdism with the grounded character drama defining DC Comics in the mid-1970s.
