Action Comics #766

The cover says it all — "The Search for Lois Ends!" — and the image delivers a gut-punch to match: a kryptonite-green glow washes over a visibly weakened Superman while Batman looms behind him, cape spread wide against a shattered backdrop, the tension between the two heroes practically radiating off the page. Ian Churchill's pencils (inked by Norm Rapmund) give both figures a raw, dynamic physicality that makes this June 2000 issue feel genuinely urgent. Joe Kelly scripts the conclusion of this Lois-centered story arc, with Cary Nord on interior art, making this a compelling chapter in the Superman mythos.
