Superman #180

That grinning, blood-dripping face filling the cover of Superman #180 belongs to none other than Dracula himself — red eyes blazing, fangs bared, a swarm of bats churning in the darkness behind him — and the bold "Superman vs. Dracula!" banner makes clear that the Man of Steel has found a truly unsettling adversary this May 2002. Cover pencils by Ed McGuinness and inks by Cam Smith give the Prince of Darkness a gleefully menacing presence that feels genuinely threatening. With Jeph Loeb and Geoff Johns co-writing "The House of Dracula" and Ian Churchill on interior art, this is one crossover that swaps Kryptonite for something far older and darker.
