Superman has been a beloved character in the world of comics for decades, but during DC’s Silver Age, things got a little… strange. Comic Book Resources recently compiled a list of the 10 strangest Superman comics from this era, and the results are truly bizarre.
From Superman turning into a lion to fighting a giant floating head, these comics pushed the boundaries of what fans thought was possible in the world of superheroes. One of the standout issues on the list is “Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen” #55, where Superman and Jimmy Olsen switch bodies after being hit by a ray gun. This leads to some hilarious moments as Superman tries to navigate life as a mere mortal while Jimmy grapples with his newfound superpowers.
Another notable entry is “Superman’s Girlfriend, Lois Lane” #106, where Lois drinks a potion that turns her into a mermaid. This leads to a series of underwater adventures as Superman tries to find a way to change her back to normal. The Silver Age was truly a time of experimentation for DC Comics, and these bizarre Superman stories are a testament to that creativity.
While these comics may not be as well-known as some of Superman’s more iconic adventures, they are a fascinating look into the wild world of Silver Age storytelling. So if you’re a fan of the Man of Steel and want to see a different side of the character, be sure to check out Comic Book Resources’ list of the 10 strangest Superman comics from DC’s Silver Age.
