Superman: They Saved Luthor’s Brain

    (DC, 2000)
™ and © 2000 DC Comics

This trade paperback collects stories from Man of Steel #4, Superman (2nd Series) #2, 19, and 21, and Action Comics #600, 660, 668, 670-673, and 676-678 behind a gorgeous Stuart Immonen (Adventures of Superman) cover that echoes the sensationalistic B-movie posters of the 1950s. Here, writers Roger Stern (The Avengers) and John Byrne (X-Men: The Hidden Years) explore the depths of Lex Luthor’s hatred of Superman, shock readers with the amputation of the megalomaniac’s hand after it is poisoned by Kryptonite radiation, and reveal the secrets of his death and rebirth. This package of excellent Superman stories features stellar artwork from such industry greats as Byrne himself, Bob McLeod (New Mutants), Dick Giordano (Batman), and Jackson Guice (Birds of Prey). It’s a fine addition to DC’s growing catalogue of trade paperbacks starring the Man of Steel.
