When the people of Lexor see that their hero has come back to life, they believe it was a mere accident and not a scheme by Luthor. The criminal mastermind had hoped to manipulate Superman’s execution, instead of killing him himself, so he could keep his promise to Ardora.
Given that the Man of Steel has brought their dear leader back to life, he is allowed to leave Lexor a free man. Yet, Luthor stays behind with his new bride--their happiness will continue for the time being.
Note: This was the last Lexor story from its creator, Edmond Hamilton. He was soon to leave the world of comic books for a round the world tour with his wife, Leigh Brackett. Edmond would pass away in 1977 and Leigh would follow him in 1978.
Absent the great science fiction writer's care, Lexor's future was bleak.
More Lexor tomorrow.
