Superman #165

Few holiday covers capture superhero warmth quite like this one: Superman and Lois Lane — she sporting a cheerful Santa hat — lean together over an open gift box filled with Christmas ornaments, each one bearing the face of a JLA member, including Green Lantern, Hawkman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, and The Flash. The tag asks the question of the season: "What Do You Get the JLA for Christmas?" It's a genuinely charming cover by Ed McGuinness and Cam Smith, blending the festive spirit of 2001 with the breadth of DC's premier superhero team, and writer Jeph Loeb brings the story inside.
