Superman Adventures #61

Superman and the Parasite clash mid-air above Metropolis in this November 2001 installment of Superman Adventures, the purple energy-draining villain clutching the Man of Steel's face as crackling power crackles between them. Below, startled bystanders on the street look skyward, perfectly capturing the animated-series charm that defined this series. With cover art by Mike Manley and Terry Austin and interiors by Aluir Amâncio, "Nothing Up My Sleeve!" promises a high-stakes rematch with one of Superman's most draining foes.
