“The Power That Failed!”

Superman #19 brings the Man of Steel face-to-face with a massive, heavily armed machine as he strains beneath its crushing weight, bricks and debris flying in every direction. Perched atop the vehicle, a goggled figure looks on — a tense standoff rendered with real kinetic energy by cover artist Jerry Ordway. John Byrne and John Beatty, now delivering stories twice monthly, keep the momentum going strong in this 1988 chapter of the post-Crisis Superman era.
