Superman #162

Superman #162 from 1963 delivers one of DC's most imaginative "what if" tales, spotlighted right on Kurt Schaffenberger's charming cover as "The Greatest Imaginary Novel of them all." The cover scene is a delight: a blonde woman (labeled Superman-Blue's wife) and Superman-Blue stand together on Earth, gazing at a screen showing the alternate-reality family of Superman-Red — complete with a red-costumed Man of Steel, his own family, and their super-powered children soaring playfully in the background. Speech balloons tease the story's central conceit — two Supermen, two lives, and the question of what might have been — making this a wonderfully nostalgic slice of Silver Age storytelling from the creative team of Leo Dorfman, Curt Swan, and George Klein.
