The Best of DC #27

In "The Death of Luthor!", Lex Luthor’s escape from prison leads him to the distant planet Lexor, where his ruthless ambition earns him hero status. Superman tracks him across the stars, only to find himself in a brutal clash that ends in tragedy—Luthor’s death at his own hands. Now branded a murderer, Superman faces a trial that will test not just his innocence, but the very limits of justice in a universe where even the greatest hero can fall.

In "The Condemned Superman!", Superman stands trial for the murder of Lex Luthor, with public opinion and the court system turning against him—until a shocking twist forces the truth into the light. With the fate of Earth's mightiest hero hanging in the balance, Superman must prove that Luthor, far from dead, is very much alive and behind the conspiracy that framed him.

In "Luthor's Hammer of Hate!", Lex Luthor unleashes a twisted new weapon born from his deepest resentment: a hammer designed to amplify his hatred and transfer it directly to Superman. With Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Morgan Edge caught in the crossfire, and Dr. Thames watching from the shadows, Luthor's latest scheme threatens to turn the Man of Steel's greatest strength into his undoing.

In "Lex Luthor -- Super Scalp-Hunter!", Lex Luthor takes a drastic step to outwit Superman by reversing the hero's aging, shrinking him to a younger version of himself—only to find his own plans unraveling as Superman's youthful recklessness threatens to backfire. Clark Kent, unaware of the change, returns to the Daily Planet seeking a job, while Lois Lane, Perry White, Steve Lombard, and Ali watch the chaos unfold. With his scheme spiraling beyond control, Lex must confront the consequences of his own machinations before they consume him.
