If I were going to compile a list of great Lex Luthor panels, this would certainly be near the top. This is from Superman #147, reprinted in both Showcase Presents: Legion Of Super-Heroes V1 and Showcase Presents: Superman V3.

Written by Jerry Siegel, drawn by Curt Swan

"You have 77 future messages- next future message, sent 8:17 pm- 'Alright, come on. Just stop by, break me out. Saturn Queen? Nemesis Kid? Really, seriously, I've called, like-'"

beep

"You have 76 future messages- next future message, sent 8:22 pm- 'Oh, that last message was me... um... arch-criminal Luthor... 1961... but you, uh, probably knew that... come on! Seriously stop fuc-'"
