“Don't Cry for Me, Bialya”

The cover by Michael Golden says it all: Superman strains under the full weight of a massive battle tank, cape whipping behind him, while soldiers and more armored vehicles swarm the chaotic desert battlefield around him. The title "Presidential Orders" frames a scenario where the Man of Steel appears to be the only thing standing between military force and catastrophe. Casey, Aucoin, and Marzán Jr. bring this 2001 chapter of Adventures of Superman to life with a cover that perfectly captures the tension between superhuman power and the messy, complicated machinery of war.
