“Rude Awakening”

In "Rude Awakening," Superman pushes his limits by consulting Emil Hamilton, only to discover a growing crisis in the bottled city of Kandor. With the help of the Atom, he shrinks down to investigate, while a mysterious figure in a full Superman suit—Scorn—tracks down Ashbury. Written by Karl Kesel and brought to life by Stuart Immonen’s dynamic art and José Marzán Jr.’s sharp inks, this 1997 issue blends high-stakes mystery with the classic hero’s quest, all wrapped in a cover by Immonen and Marzán Jr.
