“Champion”

In "Champion," Superman finds himself at odds with a planet's chosen protector, leading to a tense standoff that only a mysterious computer can resolve—sending him through a wormhole back to Earth. Meanwhile, Lois Lane presses Lex Luthor for answers about the sudden disappearance of Sasha Green, uncovering new leads in a case that's far from closed. Written by Roger Stern and brought to life by Jackson Guice’s dynamic art, with inks by Denis Rodier and colors by Glenn Whitmore, this 1994 issue delivers a grounded yet thrilling chapter in Superman’s journey, all wrapped in a striking cover by Ed Hannigan and Jackson Guice.
