It's 2020 - Do You Know Where Your Superman Is?

Well, 2020 sure ain't 20/20, eh? If anything, the times are the complete opposite of clear sight. And, hells - no wonder i can't find Superman. We live in a world where the inspiration for Lex Luthor (modern post-Crisis version) is president of the United States, and the man who was making the Superman movies is someone who doesn't believe in even the concept of Aspirational Heroes and thinks that anyone who does is an idiot.

The Odd thing is, this isn't the first time we've been stuck searching for Superman in 2020 while racist assholes run amuck. We did that 40 years ago...



Let's hope we can stop the racist villains in our world, too.

Superman 2020 did return for four more tales over the next 13 issues. 

And later in 2020, Superman & Lois get their own tv show again. I don't know exactly how that relates, but i'm looking forward to it.

Super Xmas

6
Let's go big with 36 pages of Super Xmas - Siegel & Shuster Style - Sorta...

You see, while all these stories are signed by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, they didn't actually create them. This first tale is written by Don C. Cameron with art by Joe Sikela and George Roussos -






Ira Yarbrough and Stan Kaye provide the artwork on this next one, with Don Cameron believed to be the writer on this one as well -


Our final tale is brought to us by Alvin Schwartz and Win Mortimer -


If none of those names sound familiar to you, think of the frustration that creators must have suffered working under another's name. (And shame! for not recognizing Jack Kirby's inker on some of those early Fantastic Four issues)
