Superman The Secret Years No. 4 Cover by Frank Miller
Miller was at DC. While Ronin had found an audience, it hadn’t been a resounding success. But now he was working on The Dark Knight Returns, and that would change everything.
At the same time, he provided a number of covers for other DC books, including this symbolic take on Superman when Superman was still allowed to be happy.
