World’s Finest

    (DC, 1990)
™ and ©1990 DC Comics, Inc.

Why has Superman’s nemesis Lex Luthor suddenly decided to take an interest in building orphanages? And why has the Joker decided to invest in Metropolis real estate? Whatever the answer is, you can be certain that these two arch-villains are up to no good.

World’s Finest is a three-book series pitting Superman and Batman against their greatest foes. A creative tour de force, it features the writing of Dave (Watchmen) Gibbons, the art of Steve (Nexus) Rude, and color by Steve Oliff (who later became famous for his dynamic “Olyoptics” work for Image comics).
