Superman #112

Superman and Lois Lane stand back-to-back in full costume, both turned away from each other — Superman brooding, Lois pressing her hand to her forehead in quiet distress — while ghosted images of the two in civilian clothes loom in the background, underscoring the emotional distance at the heart of this June 1996 issue. The cover by Dan Jurgens and Brett Breeding delivers a rare moment of vulnerability for the Man of Steel, trading action for raw feeling. With Jurgens, Frenz, and Rubinstein on the creative team, this is a compelling chapter in the storied relationship between two of DC's most enduring characters.
