Superman #39

In "Waffen," Superman faces a chilling threat as a riot steals bone fragments from Doomsday, triggering a race to stabilize the fragile city of Kandor before it collapses. With Perry White fuming over Franklin Stern’s controversial hiring of Dirk Armstrong, the pressure mounts in this tense, character-driven story from Louise Simonson and Frank Neubauer, illustrated with sharp precision by Jon Bogdanove and colored with striking depth by Glenn Whitmore. The cover by Tom Grummett and Denis Rodier captures the urgency of the moment, making this 1998 issue a standout in the series.
