Another no-prize to the first person who can correctly identify the story and issue number that these two panels came from.

Action #343 (1966)  "Eterno the Immortal"

And its apparently a Jim Shooter story...nevertheless, these extra details should not mean any sharing of the "no prize"... :)

No Rao, I thought I recognized it almost straight away - and it turns out I did.

It is from panel 1, page 12, of "The Man Who Betrayed Superman's Identity!", from Action Comics #297 (February 1963), written by Leo Dorfman, with art by the great Curt Swan and George Klein.

Groan... 8)

BTW, is the Action issue pictured by Rao a re-issue of the same story?

Not at all, I just picked that cover for its cigar-ness.

The story was reprinted in Superman Family #165, though.
