Superman #56
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeSuperman #56 brings writer James D. Hudnall together with artist Ed Hannigan and inker Willie Blyberg for "Red Glass, Part One: Breaking Up," a street-level story that feels grounded and urgent. Andy Kubert's cover captures that tone perfectly — a determined Superman looms over a tense urban confrontation, gripping a club while two rough-looking thugs menace a frightened woman pinned against a brick wall. It's a gritty, compelling image that signals this 1991 issue isn't shy about tackling crime up close, and the promise of a Newsboy Legion mini-epic tucked inside sweetens the deal even further.
