Action Comics #388 (May 1970)

Here, for April Fool's Day, is a story that I remember fondly from my childhood. Frankly, it's too chock-full of zany Silver-Age wackiness for any kind of abstract and selected panels to do it justice, so in a departure from my usual practice I present it in whole – followed by a text feature from two issues later (#390, July 1970) that details all (?) of the “mistakes” in it.  But are they really mistakes...?

I hope you enjoy it!  As you read through it, get a load of Superman's repeated expressions of slack-jawed astonishment! - and take note of the little guy that keeps appearing in various windows....
