Superman #398

The cover of Superman #398 (1984) sets up a wonderfully chaotic scene: gravity has gone haywire across a city, and hundreds of people are tumbling helplessly through the air as Superman strains to save them all — cape billowing, one desperate citizen already in his grip. What makes this Eduardo Barreto cover especially intriguing is that second figure in a Superman shirt confidently declaring "You can't — but I can!", suggesting the Man of Steel may have met his match in the mysterious kid at the center of "The Kid Who Master-Minded Superman!" Inside, writer Joey Cavalieri and artist Curt Swan deliver what promises to be a wild, imaginative ride through one of 1984's more eye-catching issues.
