Superman #201

The cover of Superman #201 (March 2004) pays deliberate homage to the Man of Steel's classic imagery — a caped figure in a red-and-white costume hoists a massive black sedan overhead while a frightened bystander recoils in the foreground, a downed civilian scrambles nearby, and a tiny armored figure dashes in from the left. The bold cover tagline asks whether Superman and Mr. Majestic will save the day, teasing a superhero team-up at the heart of "Strange New Visitor, Part 3." Penciled by Ed McGuinness and inked by Dexter Vines, the composition crackles with kinetic energy — flying debris, a shattered windshield, and a loose tire all adding to the satisfying sense of chaos only two powerhouses could hope to contain.
