Justice League Unlimited #18

Superman finds himself in over his head somewhere in the cosmos, and the cover of Justice League Unlimited #18 makes the unlikely rescue party immediately clear — a determined cab driver sporting a "TAXI" cap stands fist-raised alongside the Man of Steel as spacecraft streak through an alien sky above them. Tied to the Cartoon Network animated series, this 2006 DC issue pairs the iconic hero with Space Cabby for a story titled "Fare 48," promising an off-world adventure with a charmingly unlikely co-star. Ethen Beavers' animated-style cover art captures both characters mid-tension, with a vivid alien backdrop of red planets and rocket fire that sets the scene perfectly.
