Adventures of Superman: José Luis García-López #[1]
This handsome 2013 DC collection spotlights the work of artist José Luis García-López, whose clean, dynamic linework helped define the look of Superman for a generation of readers. The cover — penciled by García-López and inked by Dan Adkins — says it all: Superman and Wonder Woman square off in fierce, fists-raised confrontation while the looming, shadowy face of a top-hatted figure watches from the background. It's a striking showcase for why García-López's fluid figure work and expressive characters remain so admired, and at nearly 300 pages of collected stories, this volume is a genuine treat for fans of DC's Silver and Bronze Age at their best.

Realizing that Earth is in trouble, Superman and Wonder Woman stop their battle and return to Earth. There they split up to find the reactor’s two halves. The two heroes defeat the villains and bring them and the halves to a small island. Using his powers, the Baron activates the two halves. When Superman uses his x-ray vision to look at it, the reactor becomes an atomic bomb. Both Sumo and the Baron fight each other for the weapon and they somehow die when it detonates. The heroes return to D.C. where President Roosevelt assures them that America would never use the bomb to kill anyone.
