Superman #38 brings the December 1989 storm to vivid life with a cover by Jerry Ordway that puts the Man of Steel in serious trouble — a dark-clad, powerfully built figure has Superman in a crushing bear-hug mid-air, lightning crackling through the rain-lashed sky around them. The raw physicality of the struggle is striking: Superman's expression is one of genuine strain, suggesting this opponent is no pushover. Titled "Unnatural Disasters," this issue promises a battle as turbulent as the weather surrounding it.
