Superman - Action Comics #3
In "The Ghost in the Fortress of Solitude," Grant Morrison and Brad Walker deliver a haunting, non-linear tale that weaves together past, present, and future as Superman confronts unsettling echoes of his past. From a fateful prom night to a red-sun world where he's hunted, and a chilling encounter with Mrs. Nyxly that ends in tragedy, the story unfolds with eerie precision. Rags Morales' striking cover captures the mystery, while the layered art by Walker, Morales, and inkers Hennessy and Propst brings emotional depth to every panel.
