Superman Special #3

Superman is clearly in agony on this 1985 DC Special cover, tumbling through a torrent of glowing green Kryptonite energy while a green-and-black costumed villain — Amazo — looms menacingly overhead. Eduardo Barreto's cover pencils and inks deliver a striking sense of raw vulnerability, with the Man of Steel visibly overwhelmed against a chaotic backdrop of shattered rock and sickly emerald light. "Amazo Means Mayhem!" promises exactly what the cover delivers — a Superman pushed to his absolute limits.
