Never let it be said that DC COMICS ever gave up on a good idea when they saw it. If CLARK KENT was SUPERMAN, how could both of them appear in the same place at the same time?Regardless of how it was achieved, editors and writers
recognized that readers couldn't fail to be intrigued if the concept was featured on the cover, and would be more likely to purchase the issue to solve the mystery. Cue a slew of covers showing Clark interacting with Supes when such a thing was impossible - or was it? Not in the whacky world of comicbooks it isn't. (Admittedly, three of the covers are symbolic, but they're clearly designed.to "hoodwink" the casual reader into buying the issue.)
The following covers are culled from my own collection and are by no means comprehensive. Doubtless there are quite a few others spanning the decades since Superman first appeared in all his four-colour glory.
Remember, the images can be enlarged by clicking on them, and enlarged further by clicking on them again.
