“Luthor - Hero!”

In "Luthor - Hero!", Superman #85 (1953) sees the Daily Planet's editorship briefly handed to Clark Kent's prudish sister, who deems most of Clark and Lois' sensational stories unfit for print. Written by Bill Finger and illustrated by Wayne Boring with inks by Stan Kaye, this classic tale explores the chaos that ensues when journalistic standards clash with the need for headlines. The cover, by Win Mortimer, captures the moment with a sharp, expressive style that defines the era.
