Superman #31

Superman charges fist-first over a sprawling cityscape on this May 1989 cover, while a smirking Lex Luthor lurks in the corner — and a wonderfully self-aware speech bubble cheekily admits the scene "probably doesn't appear in this issue… but with me around it COULD!" Kerry Gammill and Dennis Janke deliver a dynamic, confidently drawn Superman that radiates raw power against a warm golden sky. Inside, the creative team of Roger Stern, Tom Peyer, Paris Cullins, and Dennis Janke also bring Part Three of Lex Luthor's "Hostile Takeover," making this a genuinely packed installment of the Man of Steel's late-'80s adventures.
