“Truth and Consequences”

In "Truth and Consequences," Superman faces his most devious foe yet as Mr. Mxyzptlk returns—only this time, every word he speaks is a lie, turning truth itself into a weapon. Meanwhile, the relentless Doomsday pounds away at a steel door, its relentless assault slowly chipping away at the barrier. Written by Jerry Ordway and Dennis Janke, with art by Janke and cover by Tom Grummett and Dennis Janke, this 1992 issue blends surreal mischief with escalating tension in a standout chapter of the Superman mythos.
