Superman vs. Aliens

In the mid-1990s, DC and Dark Horse teamed up for this three-issue prestige-format miniseries, pitting the Man of Steel against the galaxy's deadliest predators. Written and co-illustrated by Dan Jurgens, with art by Kevin Nowlan, the story brought a grounded, sci-fi horror edge to Superman's world as he faced an alien threat that tested even his powers. It stands as a memorable, no-frills crossover that captured the era's appetite for high-stakes superhero-meets-monster matchups.
