Superman #10/1982
In "Vlatuu schlägt zu!", a self-assured new reporter at the Daily Planet takes on a dangerous assignment that pushes him to the edge—only to be pulled back by Lois Lane’s quick thinking. Written by Tamsyn O'Flynn and brought to life with dynamic art by Bob Oksner, inks by Vince Colletta, and colors by Tom Ziuko, this 1982 issue captures a tense moment of rookie ambition and heroism. The cover by Ross Andru and Dick Giordano adds a striking visual punch to the story’s high-stakes atmosphere.
In "Vlatuu schlägt zu!", Superman, masquerading as the alien warrior Vlatuu of Plyrox, faces off against the Proto-Superman—a test of strength designed by the Revengers to vet new recruits—proving his worth in a brutal clash that earns him passage to Earth. With Lois Lane, Lana Lang, and Jimmy Olsen watching from the shadows, and Clark Kent’s dual identities entangled in the mission, the stakes rise as Vlatuu’s true purpose begins to unfold.
When a self-assured new reporter joins the Daily Planet, his confidence quickly outpaces his judgment. As he dives into a dangerous investigation, Lois Lane finds herself stepping in to save him—while Jimmy Olsen and Perry White watch the chaos unfold. Mark Spencer’s bold choices put the entire team on edge, testing the limits of rookie ambition and the paper’s legendary instincts.
