Superman #18

Return to Krypton" sets an evocative, otherworldly tone right on the cover, where a helpless Superman — clad in a bulky protective suit and visibly weakened — drifts through a glowing green, Kryptonite-laced environment while two imposing, strangely costumed figures loom over him from behind. Mike Mignola's cover art gives the whole scene a haunting, dreamlike weight that perfectly suits a story about Superman confronting the legacy of his destroyed homeworld. Part of DC's 1988 celebration of Superman's fifty years, this Byrne, Mignola, and Kesel issue promises a journey unlike any other in the Man of Steel's post-Crisis adventures.
