Adventures of Superman #491

Cover art by Tom Grummett and Jerry Ordway says it all: a battered Superman struggles to rise from a rubble-strewn battlefield while a massive, skull-faced robotic suit — identified by the cover blurb as a deadly combination of Cerberus and Metallo — looms over him with glowing red eyes and outstretched claws. The tagline "Cerberus Plus Metallo Equals Pain!" perfectly captures the desperate, overwhelming odds Superman faces in this June 1992 issue. With Ordway, Grummett, and Hazlewood at the helm, Adventures of Superman #491 delivers the kind of cover that makes it impossible not to flip to page one.
