Superman #104

Superman stands front and center with steely resolve, flanked by two of DC's most menacing figures — the skull-faced, cybernetic Cyborg looming on the left and the stone-faced, red-eyed Darkseid towering on the right, all set against a blazing orange-yellow background. The tagline "Case Closed!" and the story title "Revenge of Apokolips" promise a confrontation with serious stakes, putting the Man of Steel between a mechanical horror and the lord of Apokolips himself. Dan Jurgens, José Luis García-López, and Joe Rubinstein bring a sharp, imposing energy to this 1995 issue that makes it hard to look away.
