“Deathtrap!”

Superman looks battered and desperate as he plunges forward in freefall, while a menacing armored figure — guest-star Mister Miracle — looms close behind amid a blaze of speed lines suggesting a harrowing plunge down the Boom Tubes. The bold cover tagline "Down the Boom Tubes!" sets an urgent, high-stakes tone that fits right into the mid-1990s DC universe. Jon Bogdanove and Dennis Janke's cover crackles with kinetic energy, making this Louise Simonson-penned chapter of Superman: The Man of Steel a genuinely compelling addition to any run of the series.
