Superboy Annual #3

Part of DC's 1996 "Legends of the Dead Earth" Annual event, this oversized issue pairs writer Barbara Kesel with artist Anthony Williams and inker Andy Lanning for a story titled "Fathers and Sons." The cover — penciled by Williams and inked by Lanning — captures Superboy bursting through a stone wall in full flight, fists forward and expression fierce, while a looming stone-carved figure watches ominously from a circular relief behind him. It's a striking, kinetic image that hints at conflict between generations and legacies playing out somewhere far from familiar ground.
