Adventures Of Superman #439 1987

Adventures Of Superman #439, published by DC in April 1988, features the story "Tin Soldiers." In this issue, a robotic Superman, created by the real Man of Steel to respond to emergencies, is damaged and believes himself to be the genuine hero.

This comic is notable for re-introducing and concluding the concept of Superman robots in the post-Crisis era, and for showcasing Lois Lane's developing combat skills.
