One of three covers for December’s Issue #4…

DC’s six-issue Black Label series Superman: The Stranger by Wes Craig and Jason Wordie, which gives a modern view of the Man of Steel in the 1930s, continues in December with Issue #4. The hook? Superman meets Lex Luthor for the first time.
The solicitation offers little beyond that, but what caught my eye is Mark Chiarello’s variant cover, which projects a strength and power befitting yesterday’s urban Man of Tomorrow.
Dig this:

And hey, Craig’s main cover and Chris Samnee’s variant are also swell.
Here’s the solicitation:
