A deeply unsettling image greets readers of Action Comics #865 — a rotund, bespectacled villain in red pajamas reclines serenely in bed, surrounded by an enormous pile of Superman figures, all rendered in eerie, doll-like detail by cover artist Kevin Maguire. "The Terrible Toyman" promises a story where the Man of Steel's most childlike foe may be far more dangerous than his whimsical appearance suggests. With Geoff Johns writing and Jesús Merino on art, this 2008 issue is the kind of quietly creepy package that makes DC's back catalog such rewarding territory to explore.
