Superman #281
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeFrom 1974, Superman #281 delivers a gut-punch of a cover by Nick Cardy: the Man of Steel kneels in anguish, cradling the limp body of Lois Lane, while a menacing, barrel-chested villain looms above them, declaring that his wife's murder demanded a life for a life. It's a striking, emotionally raw image that sets a genuinely dark tone for Cary Bates's "Mystery Mission to Metropolis!" brought to life on the interior pages by the pencil-and-ink team of Curt Swan and Bob Oksner.
