I still consider this a "newer" comic book series - even though we are rapidly approaching its 20th anniversary! This series was an instant classic and won multiple Eisner awards including Best New Series. Written by Grant Morrison, with art by Frank Quitely, the series harkened back to Superman's Golden Age. There was an overarching story arc, but each issue was distinctly different and a lot of fun. I bought a page early on - right after it was published (see here), but sold it way too soon. I was so happy to finally find a replacement (wasn't happy about the new prices!). Anyway, this is a great page and it features just about the entire cast - Superman, Lois, Jimmy Olson, Perry, Cat Grant, and blowhard Steve Lombard. Unlike most comic books, these pages were done in pencil only by Quitely. It's really hard to scan these but the art is just amazing! (click for larger image)
