Superman Taschenbuch #44

In "Der Hammer des Lex Luthor," Lex Luthor attempts to outwit Superman by reversing his age by ten years, hoping to gain a mental edge. Clark Kent, unaware of the change, reapplys for his old job at the Daily Planet, while Luthor schemes to eliminate Superman once and for all. Written by Elliot Maggin and brought to life with Curt Swan’s art and Kurt Schaffenberger’s inks, this 1982 tale sees Luthor’s plans unravel through Superman’s unassuming nature—forcing him to undo his own experiment. The cover, by Ross Andru and Dick Giordano, captures the tension of a battle of wits gone awry.
