Superman #17/1983
In "Tryon, die lebende Bombe," Superman faces a shocking twist when former rival Steve Lombard's past catches up with him—literally. When Leo Morey storms into Lombard's studio seeking revenge, the situation escalates quickly, forcing Superman to confront not just a vengeful man, but one empowered by a mysterious Solartron Belt. Written by Cary Bates and brought to life with Curt Swan’s expressive art, Dave Hunt’s inks, and Anthony Tollin’s colors, this 1983 issue delivers a tense, character-driven clash that redefines old grudges. The cover by Ross Andru and Mike DeCarlo captures the moment’s intensity perfectly.
In a tense studio moment, Leo Morey confronts Steve Lombard with a fury rooted in past humiliations, escalating when Morgan Edge delivers the cold news that Steve’s show is canceled. As Steve recounts old rivalries with Leo, the situation spirals when Leo, armed with a Solartron belt, gains powers that even Superman struggles to counter.
