About this Collection

This 2013 DC collection brings together a trio of Superman stories from the late 1980s and early 1990s, including the title tale 'Dark Knight Over Metropolis' from Action Comics Annual #2, where Batman and Superman clash over the Joker's deadly schemes. Also featured are 'The Ghost of Superman' from Superman #50 and 'The Price' from Adventures of Superman #480, each showcasing the Man of Steel in classic, high-stakes adventures.

In "Skeeter," Dan Jurgens crafts a gripping tale of four astronauts whose lives are upended when their ship is struck by mysterious radiation, granting them powers that don’t bring unity—just chaos. As their transformation strains their bonds, Superman and Lois Lane share a quiet, charged moment that hints at deeper currents beneath the surface. The story unfolds with sharp pacing and emotional weight, illustrated with precision by Jurgens and enhanced by Dick Giordano’s inks and Glenn Whitmore’s colors. Arthur Adams’ striking cover captures the tension perfectly, setting the tone for a story where power doesn’t equal control.

Four astronauts gain powers when their ship is hit by radiation. Unlike another fantastic foursome, these four don't fair so well. Plus, Lois and Clark share a kiss.
