Superman #132

This 1959 DC gem poses one of Silver Age comics' most tantalizing "what if" questions right on its cover: what would Superman's life have been like if Krypton had never exploded? Curt Swan's pencils (inked by Stan Kaye) lay out the story's three-part structure across vivid vignettes — a young Kal-El building a robot companion named Robo from a "Make It Yourself Robot Kit," gazing at the cosmos alongside his brother Zal-El, and a grown Futuro soaring confidently in a purple super-suit. Writer Otto Binder and artist Wayne Boring bring the interior tale to life, making this issue a thoroughly charming exploration of a Krypton that never fell.
