DC COMICS -SUPERMAN - THE SHOWDOWN BETWEEN LUTHOR AND SUPERMAN - #164

Description: DC COMICS SUPERMAN TITLE - "THE SHOWDOWN BETWEEN LUTHOR AND SUPERMAN!" VOL 1 ISSUE # 143 OCTOBER 1963 SYNOPSISLex Luthor secretly built an escape vehicle and breaks out of prison. He issues a challenge to Superman -- a fair fight on equal terms under a red sun. Superman forges a spacecraft and they fly to the barren, yet-unnamed, planet Lexor; where the two challengers set up a boxing ring. Though he took some punishment due to his tendency to pull a punch, Superman eventually knocked-out Luthor. After a chase through cactii and a brutal sandstorm, Superman and Luthor find the dregs of Lexorian civilization. They both learn the language, but it is Luthor that restores their water and power, drives off the Dorulgs, and sets about digging a new well. Because they were helped by Luthor, the Lexorians regard him as a hero -- and Superman as a villain. Luthor's digging machine finds no water, and Lex seems to be feeling his first pangs of shame. He and Superman have a gadget duel in the public arena with various old Lexor weapons before Luthor throws the fight, and pleads with Superman to take him away so that he doesn't have to let down the grateful Lexorians. Once Superman's spacecraft returns to the light of a yellow sun, Lex asks Superman to stop and launch mountains of ice back at Lexor to create reservoirs of water. Superman was happy to do so and lets Luthor take the credit, while Lex is desperate to hide his compassion and return to jail. Back in his cell, Superman brings Lex a photograph from Lexor -- of a statue erected to honor Lex Luthor.IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE PICTURES, PLEASE ASK I AM NOT A COMIC BOOK GRADER, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THESE OLD COMICS WOULD GRADE.
