Superman #344

Superman #344 (February 1980) promises one of the Man of Steel's most unexpected matchups, as the cover — penciled and inked by José Luis García-López — depicts a rain-soaked, seemingly powerless Superman caught in the iron grip of Dracula himself, the vampire lord snarling that he intends to drink Superman's blood and make him a slave. The header announces that Dracula and the Frankenstein Monster are both in the mix for this immortal combat, making "The Monsters Among Us!" a deliriously fun collision of superhero and classic horror. García-López's dynamic composition, with lightning crackling in the background and Superman straining against the Count's clutches, perfectly captures the thrilling tension of a hero pushed to his limits.
