Superman: The Man of Steel #67

Right on the streets of Metropolis, a massive armored villain crackles with blue electric energy while hurling Superman — his red boots and iconic "S" shield clearly visible — through the air with tremendous force, as a TV news crew scrambles to capture the chaos outside the Metropolis Theatre's "Whittybanter Show." The cover tagline "Say Goodbye to That Costume…" hints at a dramatic change on the horizon, lending this May 1997 issue an extra air of anticipation. Cover art by Jon Bogdanove and Dennis Janke delivers the kinetic punch you'd expect from Louise Simonson's run on the series.
