Superman - Action Comics #3
In "The Ghost in the Fortress of Solitude," Grant Morrison and artist Brad Walker weave a haunting, non-linear tale where Superman confronts echoes of his past, present, and future. From a fateful prom night crash to a red sun world where he’s hunted, and a chilling encounter with Mrs. Nyxly that ends in tragedy, the story unfolds with emotional weight and mystery. Rags Morales’ cover art captures the eerie tone, while the layered storytelling by Morrison and Walker invites deep reflection on identity and legacy.
