Superman: The Man of Steel Annual #2

Part of DC's 1993 "Bloodlines: Outbreak" crossover event, this Superman: The Man of Steel annual promises a brutal clash right from its cover — a red-haired figure is pinned beneath a menacing, spike-adorned alien creature while an armored warrior in a red cape leaps into the fray, blades at the ready. Christian Alamy's dynamic cover art captures an urgent, kinetic struggle that lives up to the tagline "The Edge of Steel!" Louise Simonson scripts the interior alongside artist Eddy Newell and inker Mike Barreiro, making this a solid creative team to deliver the chaos the cover so vividly teases.
