Action Comics #645

Whatever Maxima Wants — Maxima Gets!" declares this September 1989 issue of Action Comics, and the cover by George Pérez makes the threat feel utterly real. Dominating the right half is a striking close-up of Maxima herself — wild crimson hair, glowing violet eyes, and an imperious expression that radiates dangerous confidence — while the left side reveals a collage of scenes: Superman in full flight, a massive armored figure unleashing firepower, and scattered newspaper clippings hinting at the chaos surrounding the Man of Steel. With Pérez also handling interior art alongside writer Roger Stern, "My Lady Maxima" promises the kind of visually rich, high-stakes storytelling that made this era of Superman genuinely exciting.
