Tom Grummett and Karl Kesel deliver a visceral cover for this June 1994 issue, showing a battered Superboy — his Superman logo torn and bloodied, his face bruised — fighting through slashing white energy blades against a crumbling dark background. The title "Live by the Sword... Die by the Sword" sets a grim tone that matches every cut and scorch mark on display. With Kesel writing and Grummett on interior art alongside inker Doug Hazlewood, this is mid-'90s DC storytelling firing on all cylinders.
