Superman #25/1980
In "Lex Luthors Judaskuss," Lex Luthor’s elaborate scheme reaches a chilling peak when Superman, moments after kissing Angela at their wedding, vanishes—only to be captured by Luthor’s androids, who begin reawakening his forgotten memories. Written by Cary Bates and brought to life with Curt Swan’s iconic art, Frank Chiaramonte’s inks, and Gene D’Angelo’s colors, this 1980 issue unfolds with a chilling blend of deception and emotional manipulation, as Luthor’s obsession with Angela takes a dangerous turn. The cover, by Ross Andru and Dick Giordano, captures the moment of betrayal in sharp, dramatic detail.
In a twist of deception and desperate ambition, Lex Luthor’s seemingly flawless plan reaches its peak when, moments after his wedding to Angela Blake, Superman kisses the bride—only for both to vanish. With the help of his androids, Lex attempts to manipulate fate by reactivating his own buried memories and deploying a clone of Angela rigged with an organic bomb meant to destroy the Man of Steel. But as the trap unfolds, Superman escapes the explosion, and Lex is left confronting a truth far more dangerous than any defeat: his own creation has become something he never intended.
In the shadow of the Suicide Slum Olympics, the ruthless Ice and his Duke Street Kings hold the city hostage, demanding a million dollars in ransom. With tensions high and lives at risk, Black Lightning steps in to save the day—calmly navigating a volatile standoff between the gang and the police, while a young reporter and a gruff editor watch from the sidelines.
