Superboy #9

Superboy clashes mid-air above churning Hawaiian waves with a massive, feral humanoid shark — claws raking the air, jaws wide open — in this November 1994 issue whose cover pencils by Tom Grummett and inks by Karl Kesel crackle with kinetic energy. The young hero in his signature shades, S-shield jacket, and red-gloved fists holds his own against the towering predator, setting up what the story title "King Shark!" promises is a formidable aquatic threat. Kesel, Humberto Ramos, Doug Hazlewood, and Ande Parks bring the interior to life, making this a mid-'90s Superboy adventure with serious bite.
