Superman #17
In "Man or Superman?", Lex Luthor's escape from execution fuels a new scheme that pushes even Superman to his limits—though the Man of Steel remains unmatched in strength, Luthor's cunning may finally find a way to outwit him. Written by Jerry Siegel and illustrated by John Sikela, this 1942 classic sees the villain exploit a clever ruse to target Superman's greatest asset, all rendered with the bold style of Fred Ray’s striking cover.
