Superman #50

Superman bursts through a crumbling brick wall on this striking cover to issue #50, fists clenched and cape billowing — the bold tagline "Back to Full Power!" leaving no doubt that the Man of Steel is reclaiming his full strength as Part Four of "Krisis of the Krimson Kryptonite" reaches its milestone conclusion. Jerry Ordway both penciled and inked the cover, delivering a visceral image of raw determination that suits a special 48-page anniversary issue perfectly. With contributions inside from a remarkable 1990 creative lineup including Dan Jurgens, Curt Swan, John Byrne, and Kerry Gammill, this is a celebration of Superman that earns every bit of its landmark numbering.
