“Superman, 2001!”

Superman's landmark 300th issue arrives with a striking Bob Oksner cover that poses a fascinating "what if" — the bold title "Superman 2001" frames a full-figured Man of Steel in classic costume, looming large against a star-filled cosmos while below him two figures react to an explosive rocket streaking through space. The cover copy spells out the premise perfectly: what if the baby from Krypton had arrived on Earth in the world of tomorrow? With Cary Bates and Elliot S! Maggin on writing duties, Curt Swan on art, and Ben Oda lettering, this 1976 milestone brings together some of DC's finest talent for a genuinely imaginative anniversary celebration.

What if Baby Kal-El landed on Earth in 1976? Found by the American military just ahead of the Soviets, Kal-El is raised as a ward of the Army. Tensions over the alien superhuman, now called Skyboy, boil over in 1990 with both the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. launching missiles. Skyboy destroys all of the weapons and abandons his Skyboy identity to live as Clark Kent. In 2001, the Soviets send Moka to Times Square to declare himself the person who saved the planet in 1990 and the rightful ruler of mankind, but Clark comes out of retirement, this time as Superman, and exposes Moka for the fraud he is.
