Superman #22/1983
In "Luthor schlägt zurück!", Lex Luthor launches a new assault on Superman, threatening Earth with a fate eerily reminiscent of the destroyed planet Lexore. As Superman confronts the growing danger, Lois Lane’s shifting feelings come into question, Perry White seeks marital counsel, and Lana Lang reports from the Middle East—where Lois once failed. Written by Cary Bates and brought to life with classic precision by Curt Swan, inks by Dave Hunt, and colors by Anthony Tollin, this 1983 issue features a cover by Gil Kane, capturing the tension in a striking, iconic image.
In "Luthor schlägt zurück!", Lex Luthor turns his fury on Superman with a plan that threatens Earth itself, as he manipulates the planet’s core with a mysterious device. With Lois Lane’s loyalty to Superman in question and Perry White seeking marital counsel, the stakes rise as Luthor exploits personal fractures—while Morgan Edge watches from the shadows and a distant conflict in the Middle East adds further tension.
During a train ride, Pete Ross and Professor Lewis Lang realize the valuable Inka Crown has been stolen. When Pete encounters Clark Kent—posing as a stranger—he pretends not to know him, sparking Clark’s curiosity and setting off a chase that unfolds through the rails and shadows.
