Superman Annual #9

Part of DC's 1997 "Pulp Heroes" annual event, Superman Annual #9 leans hard into the pulp adventure aesthetic — and Glen Orbik's painted cover delivers exactly that mood. A rugged, jacketless Superman stands coiled and ready against a massive, looming dragon rendered in vivid greens and golds, the tagline "My Greatest Adventure" promising something suitably larger-than-life. Written by Dan Jurgens and illustrated by Sean Chen and Brett Breeding, this is a stylish, atmospheric package that fans of both classic pulp thrills and the Man of Steel will find genuinely appealing.
