Superman: Silver Banshee #1

This 1998 two-part prestige miniseries pairs the Man of Steel with one of his more supernatural adversaries, and Dan Brereton's painted cover sets an appropriately eerie tone from the first glance. Superman surges forward with fist raised while the Silver Banshee — skull-faced, clawed, and wreathed in spectral green energy — dominates the foreground, with inset portraits of what appear to be additional menacing figures lurking in the upper corner. The cover text promises an eternal curse binding the Silver Banshee that only Superman can break, making this a compelling blend of superhero action and gothic horror brought to life by Brereton, Joyce Chin, and Andy Lanning.
