Superman #401

Superman finds himself seized from both sides by enormous purple hands while two pink-suited henchmen move in close — a striking cover by Eduardo Barreto that makes Luthor's renewed threat feel genuinely menacing. The bold cover blurb, "Luthor's Back — Worse Than Ever!", sets a confident, adversarial tone for Cary Bates's "Operation: False Front!" Inside, Swan and Oksner bring their polished craft to what promises to be a tense showdown between the Man of Steel and his most cunning nemesis.
