Action Comics #830

In "The Great Society," Dr. Psycho hijacks an airplane full of passengers, turning them into fanatical Superman admirers—just as Lois and Clark grapple with recent chaos. When Shrapnel pulls off a bank heist, Superman’s fight takes a surreal turn as mind-controlled civilians and an unexpected arrival from Luthor’s shadow—Black Adam—complicate the battle. Written by Gail Simone and illustrated by John Byrne, with inks by Lary Stucker and Nelson, colors by Guy Major, and letters by Pat Brosseau, this 2005 Action Comics issue features a cover by Dan Jurgens and Kevin Nowlan, capturing the tension of a Metropolis on edge.
