Superman--Straight Up Playa!!

Poor Lana and Lois...

...you never had a chance, did you?

BTW, in case you think it's weird that so many humans would have a double in Kandor, what with the Kryptonians being an alien species and all, well...



See, apparently the Kandorians are plotting to take over Metropolis once they're enlarged!!

BTW...Sylvia?!? Everyone else has a nice, standard, hyphenated Kryptonian name...and then there's Sylvia! What gives?

From Lois Lane #78 (1967)

    Sylvia's an earthwoman who married Van-Zee, who is Superman's double, in a previous Silver Age story designed from panel one to screw with the readers' heads... and I just realised I know way too much more about this stuff than is healthy.

    What's odd is that there is no expository yellow box with a ten-word summary of the story of Sylvia and Van-Zee. Perhaps readers wrote in and asked, since they reprinted the story a year later in a Superman annual.
