Superman Adventures #64

Superman stands triumphant atop a heap of shattered machinery, flames blazing behind him as an armored robotic figure looms to his right — a cover that immediately signals a showdown of serious proportions. Below, a bald, cold-eyed man fires a weapon alongside a dark-haired woman in a cap, suggesting the conflict extends well beyond the wreckage above. Penciled and inked by Mike Manley, this February 2002 entry in the Superman Adventures series — written by Jordan B. Gorfinkel with interior art by Aluir Amâncio and Terry Austin — delivers the kind of animated-style energy that made this title a genuine pleasure for Superman fans of all ages.
