Superman: Action Comics #3
In "A Tale of Two Titans," Superman faces a dire test of resolve as Mongul unleashes a brutal quartet—Darling, O.M.A.C., Apollo, and the transformed Lightray, now Black Razor—against the Phaelosians. With hope as his only weapon, Superman divides his team to tackle multiple fronts, leading to tense confrontations and unforeseen challenges across the battlefield. Written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and illustrated by Will Conrad and Brent Peeples, with colors by Lee Loughridge and letters by Dave Sharpe, the issue's dynamic art and escalating stakes are perfectly captured on a cover by Steve Beach.
