Superman #12/1981

In "Die Superopfer!", Superman finds himself trapped in a high-security prison on Tynolan, powerless to stop Vartox from being secretly empowered with mystical energy to serve a looming space monster. With Lois Lane watching from afar and the fate of the planet hanging in the balance, Superman must find a way to outwit his captors and unite with the unwitting Vartox, Moxumbra, and Rulhu before the alien threat is unleashed.

When Alexei Luthor escapes custody, he uses Dan Rivers’ intel on kryptonite to set a deadly trap for Superman on Earth II—forcing the Man of Steel to narrowly evade a lethal ambush. With Lois Lane at his side and a roster of unusual foes like Karate-Kuno and Nitro-Nick lurking in the shadows, the battle for survival becomes a high-stakes game of wits and speed.

In this 1981 tale from Superman #12, Lois Lane takes on a gang of criminals only to fall into a trap—just as Harlequin, the enigmatic Molly Mayne, steps in to expose a seemingly innocent athlete as the real thief. With the stakes rising and the city in danger, Superman must once again come to the rescue, this time protecting Lois Lane from a web of deception and danger that stretches from the streets of Erde II to the shadowy edges of the criminal underworld.
