“Gladiator”

In "Gladiator," Superman faces off against the brutal Mongul on the war-torn planet Warworld, where his strength and resolve are pushed to the limit. With the help of the mysterious Cleric and the Eradicator’s power, Superman is suddenly whisked away—just as Jimmy Olsen stumbles upon Clark Kent, who’s not who he seems. Written by Roger Stern, Jerry Ordway, and George Pérez, with art by Kerry Gammill and inks by Dennis Janke, this 1989 issue delivers high-stakes action and a chilling twist, all wrapped in a striking cover by Gammill and Janke.
