Elseworlds 80-Page Giant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The "Elseworlds 80-Page Giant" was to be an 80-page collection of Elseworlds stories, published by DC comics. It featured the stories "Superman Jr. Is No More!", featuring the Super-Sons, and Letitia Lerner, Superman's Babysitter, among others. However, DC Comics President Paul Levitz deemed the Letitia Lerner story inappropriate (for featuring scenes depicting the Kents rushing off to a motel and baby Superman in a microwave, among others) and ordered the comic destroyed. However, around 2000 copies of the issue had already been shipped to the UK and quickly became a highly sought after collector's item. The story earned two Eisner Awards, however, and ironically became the only part of the Elseworlds Giant to be later republished, in the pages of Bizarro Comics.
