A one-page exclusive preview of Action Comics #1 — sneaked into an NPR profile of Grant Morrison centered on his non-fiction prose book Supergods — included a glimpse of a bald character that just might be Lex Luthor (see him there in the final panel?). Now, mind you, we don’t know for a fact that it is Lex Luthor, but a bald gentleman with thick eyebrows appearing in a Superman comic book will always be conspicuous.

If in fact that is Lex, it’ll be our first look at the iconic villain in the post-Flashpoint “DCnU” world. We’ll find out for sure soon enough — Action Comics #1, by Morrison and Rags Morales, is scheduled for release on Sept. 7.
