World's Finest #290

Colors: Carl Gafford
Writer: Doug Moench
Letters: Ben Oda

World's Finest #290
(February, 1983)

(April, 1987)
Supermán y Batman
"El Amo De Los Seres De Roca"
Cover by Gil Kane
Editora Cinco - Colombia



Synopsis: The Man With The Molten Touch; a living stalagmite named Stalagron attacks Superman with a Kryptonite meteor while Batman fights off a bunch of bats.

Note: This is the final World's Finest story published by Editora Cinco in Colombia. Nine issues starring the Superman-Batman team-up adventures were released during this series' run (issues 11, 12, 14, 38, 41, 45, 46, 49 and 52).

Note: Issue #52 of "Supermán" by Editora Cinco uses the same cover as issue #11, which corresponds with World's Finest #282; however, the contents of the issue are those of World's Finest #290. Editora Cinco repeats this practice several times in the final issues of "Batman."

Note: This is the final issue that Editora Cinco publishes with a Novaro equivalent in Mexico. By this time, Novaro had stopped publishing comics for nearly two years. From this point forward, Editora Cinco releases material from Grupo Editorial Vid, which started its Superman run in October 1986 with the "Man Of Steel" reboot by John Byrne, under the title "El Hombre De Acero." Editora Cinco continues publishing Novaro material in the "Batman" title.
