Action Comics #660
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeA Grim Reaper looming over a visibly weakened Lex Luthor — clutching a Superman emblem in one skeletal hand and raising a scythe with the other — makes for one of the most arresting covers DC published in December 1990, with Kerry Gammill and Brett Breeding delivering every ounce of dread the title "The Death of Luthor!" promises. In the background, a small inset of Superman stands watch, a quiet contrast to the grim tableau unfolding below. Roger Stern and Bob McLeod bring their story "Certain Death" to life inside, and this cover sets the stakes with striking confidence.

Lex Luthor, facing a worsening illness, prepares for his imminent death. Meanwhile, Clark Kent and Lois Lane are interrupted by a fire at the Bakerline Brewery, with Superman saving the day. Later, Luthor attempts a world-record flight but ejects his co-pilot, and his plane is later seen crashing in the Andes mountains. Superman speeds to the scene, discovering what appear to be Luthor's remains among the wreckage. Superman returns to Metropolis where news of Luthor's death spreads.
