Action Comics #1,000,000

Part of DC's ambitious 1998 "DC One Million" crossover event, this special issue carries the jaw-dropping number #1,000,000 and imagines Superman soaring over a gleaming, futuristic cityscape of towering spires and advanced architecture. The cover — penciled and inked by Pat Garrahy and Gene Ha — captures the Man of Steel in full flight, fist forward and cape streaming, with a focused intensity that feels both timeless and ahead of its time. Written by Mark Schultz with art by Ron Lim and inks by José Marzán Jr., "Brave New Hero" promises a story worthy of that extraordinary issue number.
