“The Man Who Saved Kal-El's Life!”

Superman and Supergirl share a playfully banter-filled moment on this 80-Page Giant cover, where a photo album hints at the issue's charming theme — an entire 80 pages devoted to their adventures as Superbabies. Curt Swan and Mike Esposito's cover art captures the two Kryptonians in warm, expressive close-up, while inset panels tease scenes of baby Kal-El with police, life in an orphanage, and the Earthman connected to saving Krypton's last son. It's a delightful 1968 package of Silver Age storytelling, with Robert Bernstein's script and Al Plastino's art bringing "The Man Who Saved Kal-El's Life!" to life inside.
