Superman Adventures #50

A milestone fiftieth issue of the beloved animated-style series, and it arrives with a cover that pulls no punches — Superman is restrained in a brutal metal clamp around his neck, grimacing under the looming shadow of a dark, hooded figure with fist raised and glowing white eyes. Titled "Judge, Jury and Executioner!," the image sets up the story "Murderer!" with real tension, suggesting the Man of Steel is in serious trouble. Cover pencils by Mike Manley and inks by Terry Austin give the scene a bold, clean energy that fits perfectly with the animated aesthetic fans of the series know and love.
