Action Comics #548

In "Escape from the Phantom Zone!", the Phantom Zone villains break free using a shard of Jewel Kryptonite, setting off a chain of events that draws Clark and Lois into separate investigations. As the Vrangs close in on the ruins of Argo City, two surviving Kryptonians become central to a growing mystery. Written by Cary Bates and illustrated by Alex Saviuk, with inks by Vince Colletta and Pablo Marcos, and colors by Tony Tollin, this 1983 issue delivers a tense, mystery-driven tale. The cover by Gil Kane captures the looming threat with striking precision.
