Superman #166
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeA holiday-season family drama unfolds on Curt Swan and George Klein's cover, where Superman and a woman look on as one super-powered boy floats effortlessly above a decorated Christmas tree, swiping candy while his brother — standing on a chair below, arms outstretched — complains he can't reach. The cover bills this as "An Amazing Imaginary Novel" titled The Sons of Superman!, and the speech bubbles make clear the two boys are named Jor and Kal, setting up a poignant contrast between a child with powers and one without. Edmond Hamilton's premise promises an emotionally rich "what if" tale, and the warm domestic Christmas setting gives it an unexpectedly grounded, heartfelt tone for January 1964.
