The Legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table by
Gerry Conway and
Nestor Redondo, a four-part King Arthur treasury edition series that was never published. Issue #14 (March 1977) stated that
Clark Kent's hometown of
Smallville was in
Maryland. Some years later, the Maryland location was supported in the actual comics with a map of Smallville and the surrounding area that was published in
New Adventures of Superboy #22 (October 1981), which situated Smallville a few miles west of a large bay very similar to
Delaware Bay. The same map placed
Metropolis and
Gotham City on the east and west sides of the bay, thus placing Gotham in
New Jersey. In addition to the 17 regular issues, in 1976 DC published an
Amazing World of DC Comics Special Edition in conjunction with the Super DC Con '76
comic book convention, held between February 27 and 29, at the
Americana Hotel, in New York City. ==Character contest==
