    Published just a few months after Crisis on Infinite Earths, John Byrne's The Man of Steel updated the saga of Superman for modern audiences, changing certain aspects of the character in the process. Issue #4, which finds Lois and Clark on a cruise that gets hijacked, establishes Lex Luthor as a scheming, power-mad business mogul who is jealous of Superman's increasingly felt presence in Metropolis. Prior to Crisis, Luthor was a brilliant (if crooked) scientist. Written and drawn by John Byrne, with inks by Dick Giordano. Cover price $0.75.
