Warlord #17
In "The Quest, Part II: Citadel of Death," Superman finds himself trapped by the menacing Big Dome, his powers weakened by a Kryptonite beam—only to be unexpectedly rescued by two clever children who use Hostess Twinkies as a distraction. With Curt Swan’s expressive art and Vince Colletta’s sharp inks bringing the action to life, this 1979 DC adventure blends classic superhero tension with a touch of whimsy. The cover, by Mike Grell, captures the moment with bold, dynamic flair.
