Superman Annual #1
In "Superman, You're Dead... Dead... Dead!", Superman is unexpectedly transported to the 24th century as part of a futuristic history lesson, where he encounters other past heroes—only to face a chilling possibility: that he might not be the original Kryptonian, but a second duplicate created after the first Superman’s death. Written by Leo Dorfman and brought to life by Curt Swan’s iconic art, Murphy Anderson’s inks, and John Costanza’s lettering, this 1973 Annual presents a mind-bending twist on identity and legacy, leaving Superman to grapple with the unsettling truth that his return to his own time may not be a simple journey home—but a leap across dimensions.
In a mind-bending twist, Superman finds himself transported to the 24th century alongside historical figures like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, where a startling lesson casts doubt on his very identity—was he truly the first Superman, or the second, born from a legacy that may not be his own? As he returns to his own time, he's left grappling with the unsettling truth that his past might not be his own, and the future he visited could be a version of Earth that exists beyond his understanding.
