Thanks Ed, I've always wanted to read that one :)

...you know, I bet the kids of Supes-Red would be pretty pissed about not having powers while their 'cousins' ('siblings', whatever) all do...I see some sort of cosmic civil war between the super-tech armies of New Krypton (all ships equipped with an anti-anti-evil-ray shield, of course) and the super-powered infantry of Earth...

heck, I'd buy two :)

When I was a kid, I WORRIED every time Luthor caught Superman in a kryptonite death trap. Even if that was the lead story in an issue that had two or three other stories in it! I worried, because I BELIEVED. And, later, as I have noted elsewhere more than once, when Stan and Jack introduced the Blue Area on the Moon, in FANTASTIC FOUR 13, that night, when the Moon rose, I went out in the back yard and LOOKED FOR THE BLUE AREA. Because I BELIEVED.

My first SUPERMAN comic was an "Imaginary" story and I re-read it to pieces.

That issue came out shortly after I was born. It looks awesome.

I barely knew who Superman was, but I knew enough to know the basics about Clark Kent, Superman, and Luthor enough to really dig it. Probably why I loved the whole alternate earth scenario when I first encountered that.

Is that Superman Red/Blue story available in a specific collection?

I believe it's in The Greatest Superman Stories Ever Told. The original version, not the more recent version with the Alex Ross cover.

I always loved the imaginary stories that had a really really old original Superman and his son and grandson.

Thanks! Found the second volume of that series but not the first; the same with Tyler's recommendation -- second not first. Will keep looking!

Fun, imaginary Superman stories are not part of this week's officially-sanctioned DC continuity.

:shock:

Which is probably why they're so cool.
