“What Can One Icon Do?”

This 2002 issue of Superman carries the evocative story title "What Can One Icon Do?" — a question that feels loaded with purpose. Ed McGuinness and Cam Smith's cover makes a bold visual statement: a powerfully built figure in a dark jacket, small round glasses glinting with blue light, punches straight through the Superman shield as white energy crackles around him, his massive fist aimed directly at the reader alongside the defiant banner "Fight the Power." With Jeph Loeb and Geoff Johns sharing writing duties and Ariel Olivetti on interior art, this is a confident, visually arresting chapter in the Man of Steel's ongoing saga.
