Superman, Bodyguard or Assassin?



Here's yet another great Superman story from Cary Bates and the Swanderson team, that everyone this side of the pond will remember from the DC Christmas annuals.
Not quite sure why it needs to be an imaginary story set in the future but there you go. Was there ever a sequel to this, does anyone know? I have a memory of a Supes story where a white or blonde haired villainess was escaping in a private jet on the last page, and she had the exact same button in her thumbnail that General Trevis and the secretary have in this tale. Or am I getting stories mixed up?

DC Comics Presents: Superman & Santa Claus



Supes just the way we like him, in the kind of story they don't write anymore.
Len Wein, E. Nelson Bridwell, Curt Swan, Murphy Anderson and an ending guaranteed to make you smile.
Happy happy merry merry, and see you in the new year, gang.

Superboy Of The Apes



Have you ever wondered what would've happened if baby Kal-El hadn't been found by the Kents, but instead been raised by apes in the jungle, just like Tarzan?
Of course you haven't. You're not clinically insane.
This issue of Superboy suggests we're going to get another wearisome Superbaby story, all 'Me have fun... oops, me broke Empire State Building', but no, this is indeed an imaginary tale of how 'Karkan The Mighty' came to be. It's by regular Supes writer Leo Dorfman ( calling himself 'David George' for some reason ) and the wonderful art team of Bob Brown & Murphy Anderson, and is more fun than, well, a barrel of monkeys.
Fair warning: There was a sequel....
