Superman #200, October 1967
This art is from Wayne Boring’s final new story for DC comics for more than 20 years.
Boring, one of Superman’s truly legendary artists, was part of a group of creators that asked for pay rate increases, benefits and other employment improvements. So, naturally, DC fired them all.
It’s an oddball imaginary story with the end spoiler right there on the (Curt Swan) cover for kids like me to see. I had only been reading Superman comics for a short while, but I knew his Kryptonian origin by heart from TV and other media. So, I was intrigued by this alternative vision of The Superman legend.
I acquired this page whenI first started collecting art again about 15 years ago, and I haven’t seen one since.
