DC Comics Presents #24

DC Comics Presents #24 pairs two of DC's most distinctive heroes in a genuinely compelling team-up: Superman and Deadman. The cover by José Luis García-López crackles with energy — Superman surges forward amid explosions and debris while Deadman, in his red costume and white ghostly face, looms close behind, with panicking civilians caught in the chaos below. Deadman's anguished caption — "I thought becoming Superman would be fun! But instead of saving these people, I've doomed them all!" — sets up a premise that feels both inventive and a little unsettling, making Len Wein's story "The Man Who Was the World!" one to pick up immediately.
