Action Comics #542

In "Savage Awakening!", Superman faces a rare challenge when his relationship with Lois hits a rough patch, just as Vandal Savage emerges with a shocking new scheme: an army of Superman robots aiding Metropolis. With no criminal record to pin on the ancient villain, Superman must confront a foe who’s always one step ahead—while grappling with the personal strain that threatens to divide him from the one person who sees him clearly. Written by Marv Wolfman and brought to life with Curt Swan’s iconic art, this 1983 classic features dynamic storytelling and the distinctive inks of Dave Hunt, with a striking cover by Ed Hannigan and Dick Giordano.
