Action Comics #586

Chapter 19 of DC's 1987 Legends crossover event brings a remarkable team-up — and a shocking conflict — as Action Comics #586 pits Superman against Orion of the New Gods above the blazing fire-pits of Apokolips. John Byrne's cover captures the two powerhouses mid-collision, a burst of raw energy erupting between them, while an armored figure looms in the background amid the hellish, industrialized landscape. With Superman apparently serving as "Champion of Apokolips," this issue promises the kind of cosmic-scale tension that made the Legends crossover one of 1987's most ambitious DC endeavors.
