Action Comics #773

Part five of the "Road to the White House" crossover, this January 2001 issue plunges Superman into one of the most dangerous settings in the DC Universe. Matt Haley and Wade von Grawbadger's cover puts the Man of Steel waist-deep in the churning waters of a Lazarus Pit, locked in a ferocious struggle with a white-haired, wild-eyed attacker — all while a watchful Lex Luthor looms in the corner, coolly observing the chaos below. The cover tagline "Death in the Lazarus Pit!" promises that Joe Kelly's "Kith and Kin Part Two" is anything but a quiet chapter.
