Synopsis for "This is Your Life (Part I of III)"

Superman of Earth-One fights with Superman of Earth-Two in the skies of Metropolis above the Daily Star. With each crushing blow, each man lives the life of the other.

Kal-El sees the events of World War II through Kal-L's eyes, and decides to act. He vows to end the war, and heads off to confront Hitler, only to be stopped by the Spear of Destiny. Later, we see him standing in front of a concentration camp, vowing that this will never happen again. Later, we see Kal-El on a date with the Lois Lane of Earth Two, where he says "This is not my life, but if she's here, I can make it mine." Kal-El notes that on Earth-Two, everything is simple. After Lois informs him that the JSA is on the stand in front of H.U.A.C., he confronts them and reveals his identity.

Meanwhile, on Earth-One, Lois Lane stands on the roof of the Daily Planet building. She can see the corona of Earth-Two high in the sky. She whispers words of guidance for Superman, knowing that he cannot hear her. Finally she says, "I love you."


Notes

  • This is the final issue of the series.
  • Superman (Earth-Two) revealing his secret identity before the House of Un-American Activities Committee is a retcon. In the original Roy Thomas treatment, Superman was never present at the HUAC meetings.
  • The headstone of the Golden Age Superman's mother, reads Martha Kent, when it should read Mary Kent.


Trivia

  • The cover to this issue is deliberately designed to appear worn and well-read, as if it were an actual comic book from the Golden Age.
  • Many of the Lois Lane photograph features in this issue reflect events first chronicled in Action Comics #1.
