Superman #215

Against a somber orange sunset, Neal Adams delivers a genuinely affecting cover: Superman kneels beside a young girl at a gravestone memorializing Lois Lane — "Beloved Wife of Superman, Devoted Mother of Lanie" — as the child asks, "Daddy… will we ever see Mommy again?" DC's "Great Imaginary Novel" format gives Superman #215 room to explore a deeply personal what-if, written by Otto Binder with interior art by Curt Swan and Jack Abel. It's a quietly heartbreaking image that shows the Man of Steel not as an invincible hero, but as a grieving father — and that emotional honesty makes this 1969 issue genuinely memorable.
