The Best of DC (1979) #54

Notes:
For reasons currently unclear, there was no May 1973 issue of this title. Thus, this was the first issue of Action to miss its monthly publication schedule in the series' history. Still, compared with the comics of today, going 423 issues without missing a month is a pretty impressive record.
