“Luthor Lashes Back!”

A titanic showdown dominates this August 1983 issue, with a massive, armored Lex Luthor looming over the cityscape, gripping the Daily Planet globe while a defiant Superman struggles in his clutches. Luthor's speech bubble crackles with personal vendetta — "You destroyed everything I loved, Superman! Now I'll do the same for you!" — setting a charged, personal tone for the conflict within. Gil Kane's cover work delivers the confrontation with real dramatic weight, and Cary Bates, Curt Swan, and their collaborators bring "Luthor Lashes Back!" to life inside.
