Superman: The Man of Steel #28

A figure wearing Superman's iconic S-shield surges forward on this striking December 1993 cover, crackling with golden energy as his cape fans out dramatically behind him — and his smirking "It tickles!" speech bubble makes clear he's anything but rattled. The tagline "All Charged Up!" perfectly captures the threat on display, rendered with sharp confidence by the cover pencils of Jon Bogdanove and inks by Dennis Janke. Inside, Louise Simonson scripts "The Professionals" with art by Chuck Wojtkiewicz and inks by Dennis Janke, promising a story every bit as electrifying as its cover suggests.
