Superman #57

This 48-page 1991 DC issue throws readers straight into unsettling territory with a cover by Dan Jurgens and Brett Breeding that's hard to look away from — a man's face contorts in an agonized scream as strange, bubbling lesions spread across his skin and smoke curls around him, while a small inset of Superman in flight watches from the upper corner. The story title "The Mark of the Krypton Man" is emblazoned across the bottom, hinting at a Kryptonian threat that leaves its mark in deeply disturbing ways. With a creative team that includes Jurgens, Bogdanove, Grummett, and a full roster of inkers, this oversized issue clearly brings considerable firepower to whatever lies within.
