“Dark Moon Rising!”

A striking Brian Bolland cover dominates this 1986 DC issue, presenting a deeply unsettling image: Superman's powerful, costumed body topped not with the familiar face of the Man of Steel, but with a monstrous, snarling werewolf head — glowing red eyes, bared fangs, and all. The stark black-and-white rendering against the Metropolis cityscape gives the image an almost horror-film intensity, perfectly suited to a story titled "Dark Moon Rising!" Inside, the creative team of writer Marv Wolfman and artist Curt Swan carries the tale forward, making this a genuinely memorable chapter in Superman's mid-1980s run.
