For Superman Day, here’s the cover to one of my favorite Superman stories, penned by Paul Kupperberg towards the end of the pre-Crisis era. In a single issue, Kupperberg summarizes everything that matters about the Man of Steel…with nary a villain in sight. Gorgeous stuff. I highly recommend reading it. It’s a deceptively simple tale with a powerful message that really gets to the core of the Man of Steel in a way too few stories have done since its publication in 1985.
