"Two Guys Just Hanging Out at the North Pole" from DC Comics Present #67 (DC, 1984) by Len Wein, E. Nelson Bridwell, Curt Swan and Murphy Anderson

We're well past the December 20th, so I guess Your Daily Splash Page should start ramping up towards the big day...

Actually Dear, his Name Is Darkseid

"Actually Dear, his Name Is Darkseid" from Justice League vol.2 #3 (DC, 2012) by Geoff Johns, Jim Lee and Scott Williams

Sadly, there has yet to be a splash page featuring Diana in her own New52 series, so Justice League will have to do. Jim Lee's no Cliff Chiang though.
