“The Old Man of Metropolis!”

An elderly Superman sits on a park bench with a cane and a small dog, lamenting to an aged Lois Lane as a grown-up Supergirl soars triumphantly through the sky above them — it's a delightfully melancholy image that DC's 1960 readers couldn't have passed up. Curt Swan's pencils and Stan Kaye's inks bring real charm and wit to this imaginary-style scenario, teasing "The Amazing Story of Superman's Old Age!" right on the cover. Otto Binder and Curt Swan deliver what promises to be a thought-provoking, bittersweet spin on the Man of Steel's legacy.
