Action Comics #597 (1988) Page 12 Pencils by John Byrne

Available Here!


A beautifully drawn drama page from this story that begins the march towards Superman finally revealing his identity to Lois! Running down a story, Lois heads to Smallville and gets more than she bargained for in the 'revelation' that the Kents did in fact adopt and raise Superman as a boy- alongside Clark?! The Kents' well-meaning lie has driven a huge wedge between the Daily Planet's star reporters, evidenced by the retro-digital caption boxes depicting Lois' journal entry on her LexComp laptop. Unfortunately for Lois it would be another 60ish issues before she'd finally learn the whole truth. Signed by Byrne in lower right margin. Pencil, ink and screentone on comic art board. 11" x 16 1/4". NOTE: Multiple inkers are credited for this issue- Leonard Starr, Keith Williams.
