A desperate, disheveled Superman crawls through debris-strewn rubble, pleading to a shadowy figure in the foreground — "You've GOT to believe me — I AM Superman! HELP ME--!" — a striking image of the Man of Steel at his most vulnerable. Eduardo Barreto's cover pencils and inks give the scene a gritty, grounded energy that feels worlds away from Metropolis's gleaming skyline. With a story titled "How Do You Hide a Superman?", this December 1984 issue promises a compelling look at what happens when the world's most recognizable hero can't get anyone to believe who he is.
