“The Mummy Strikes”

Superman races to shield a young civilian as two massive, bandage-wrapped mummy figures loom menacingly from a chaotic field of debris and destruction — it's a striking image that captures the Man of Steel at his most determined. John Byrne's cover art (inked by Byrne himself) delivers a real sense of urgency and scale, with the towering supernatural threats bearing down from all sides. "The Mummy Strikes!" promises an unusual challenge for Superman in this May 1987 issue, written and drawn by Byrne with inks by Karl Kesel.
