Superman #660
In "The Art of the Prank," writer Kurt Busiek and artist Mike Manley deliver a clever, character-driven tale where the Prankster’s sense of theatricality clashes with a new client, Nitro G, who takes the joke a little too far. With inks by Bret Blevins, colors by Lee Loughridge, and letters by Rob Leigh, the story unfolds with sharp wit and visual flair, showcasing the Prankster’s unique brand of chaos—where the real punchline is the lesson learned. Cover by James Fry and Rodney Ramos captures the absurdity perfectly.

The Prankster, in the business of creating distractions for other criminals, starts his day with a new client, Nitro G. He wants Prankster's sticky guns and threatens Prankster until he agrees. Prankster doesn't want people hurt, he's in this for the artistry. He sets up Nitro G, getting him covered in nitro and dynamite and arranging for Superman to rescue him. But by pulling Nitro G's fuse, Superman triggers the bomb, and has to fly him off to disarm it. Superman returns with Nitro G stripped down to his underwear, suitably embarrassed. The Prankster has made his point to not mess with him.
