This story is continued from Superman #41.

Synopsis:
Lobo tracks Superman to Antarctica and uncovers the Kryptonian fortress under the surface. Sensing the intruder, Superman leaves Metropolis to confront Lobo. The two battle with Lobo getting the upper hand. When Lobo finds the concealed supply of Kryptonite, Superman takes refuge inside a Kryptonian battle suit. Lobo is still more than a match for the Man of Steel, so Superman uses a hologram to fool Lobo into thinking he is dead. Lobo, who had been drinking throughout the fight, is fooled. He leaves Earth. After more drinking, he forgets he was ever went to Earth.
