Depending on how you define Bronze Age (I personally use the first Adams GL as my start, YMMV) and if you include magazines, then there really isn't any contest for me.

If just 1, I'll go with Superman Vs. Ali.

(Runnerups would be the first issues Dark Mansion & Sinister House, closely followed by Star Wars #1)

I first saw this as a full page ad in a Worlds Finest, which itself was my first ever DC. It was seven years before I got my hands on a copy of Shadow 1 during which time it grew to legendary proportions in my mind.

Edit:  just realized this is the bronze not copper forum.  

I change my entry to WW 199 or 200, but I'll leave this image up cause it's still a stunning cover lol.

Great books but did you read the point of this thread? The exercise here is for you to make a decision after seriously assessing your Bronze Age covers. All of us here have many favorites and can post them but there can only be one book- remember the film Highlander? If you can’t choose one book then don’t post any. Only one book. Can you please pick one from the great set you posted to follow the thread’s goal? Thanks

i have very little to choose from, but i do love this cover.

That cover IS a wowser. I remember buying it from the factory outlet store we used to go to. Muhammed Ali was at his zenith then. Just about ready to start into his descent. We had fun trying to identify the people in the audience. Values on this have gotten out of control. Shoulda coulda woulda bought one in 2019.

It's a blurry pic ... I see Batman and what might be Jimmy Carter.  Who else is in there?

Ali won. Superman's powers were nullified and without those? Well, Superman is a shlub.

Rosaylnn Carter. Hal Linden. Lucille Ball. Lex Luthor. Batman. Sonny Bono. Tons of people. There is a key on the inner cover outlining everyone Adams drew into the crowd.

I mean, it's Batman 227 for sure, as @ThothAmon put it so eloquently. I am surprised not to see anyone pick House of Secrets 92 yet. A classic Wrightson grey tone.
