Cover Details & Story

The cover tagline reads: "The Beast… from Krypton?" — a devilish hook perfectly suited to issue #666. Walter Simonson's dynamic cover depicts a corrupted, demonic Superman towering over a hellish apocalyptic landscape, with Wonder Woman, Batman, Green Lantern, and Supergirl fleeing in the foreground. The bold yellow "666" logo dominates the composition, making this one of the most visually striking Superman covers of the modern era. The fiery red-orange color palette and Simonson's kinetic linework make this an instant eye-catcher.
