“Bad Dog! A Tale of Krypto the Superdog”

Superman's faithful canine companion Krypto takes center stage on this 2001 issue, and the cover by Ed McGuinness (inked by Cam Smith) makes an immediate impression — a massive, snarling Krypto fills the entire frame, red eyes crackling with energy, drool flying, his Superman-insignia collar and flowing red cape leaving no doubt about whose dog this is. The bold "BEWARE OF SUPER DOG" warning stamped across the top sets a playfully menacing tone that's hard to resist. Jeph Loeb and Dale Keown helm the interior story, promising the kind of big, fun energy that cover absolutely delivers on.
