WHAT IF?... It’s 1954 and comic books are under fire. Most of the superhero books are already gone. EC drops its horror and sci fi books and offers up books about pirates, doctors, psychiatrists, knights, and…newspapermen. DC feels compelled to follow the trend. Batman is dropped all together. Wonder Woman becomes tales of ancient Greece. But Superman, of all their characters, is in a perfect position to be reinvented. He loses his powers permanently and the book reboots as CLARK KENT COMICS AND STORIES, featuring backups with Lois, Jimmy, Perry, etc. Luthor stays in prison and the number of aliens and monsters in Metropolis drops appreciably. The Superman TV show follows suit and continues on as a newspaper drama! IT COULDA WORKED!
