With Jimmy Olsen’s help, he’s suddenly aided by an unexpected ally: Clark Kent. Written by Darwyn Cooke and illustrated with sharp, moody precision by Tim Sale, with colors by Dave Stewart and lettering by Richard Starkings, this 2007 issue delivers a tense, character-driven twist in Superman’s battle against his greatest vulnerability. The cover, by Tim Sale, captures the moment with stark intensity.
