Superman #6
In "Lois Lane's Super-Dream," Superman’s world shifts when an alien spaceship’s explosion strips him of his powers—only to grant him a tiny, self-made duplicate to handle his duties. Written by Jerry Coleman and illustrated by Wayne Boring with inks by Stan Kaye, this 1958 tale explores the strange new dynamic between the Man of Steel and his miniature counterpart, all while Lois Lane finds herself caught in a dreamlike twist of events. The cover by Curt Swan and Stan Kaye captures the surreal tone of a story where heroism takes a surprisingly small form.

When Superman is exposed to the "strange power" from the explosion of an alien space ship, he loses his powers but gains the ability to create a miniature version of himself to carry out his super-duties. Eventually the "super-imp" becomes more popular than Superman, who begins to harbor resentment and sends the midget duplicate on a potentially fatal mission involving kryptonite. Destroyed by the kryptonite, the midget seems to sacrifice itself so that Supes can return to normal.
