As far as his "planting" letters, while I'm not saying it never happened, I do think that's been overblown. With that kind of circulation, he must have had hundreds, if not thousands of fans writing in every month, and built up a stockpile where he could always find something to suit his whim.

Dear Editor:
Did Superboy ever meet Lois Lane when they were teenagers?
-- Debbie Duzzit, Albany, New York

Dear Debbie,
Be sure to get this month's issue of Adventure Comics, in which Lois moves to Smallville and is adopted by the Kents.

Dear Editor:
Jimmy has been chasing Lucy Lane for years now. Will he ever get Lucy to the altar?
--David E., Hinkley, Ohio

Dear David,
Wait no longer! Jimmy marries Lucy, and Superman marries Lois in one ceremony. Look for "The Super-Double Wedding of Metropolis" in Jimmy Olsen #53, on sale now. It's not a dream; not a hoax; not an Imaginary Tale; not robots; not exact doubles; not a Red Kryptonite delusion.

Dear Editor:
How about a story in which Superman accidentally blows up the Earth, is arrested by the Cosmic Police, sent into the Phantom Zone, but is rescued by the Legion of Super-Pets, then finds a new home on a planet under a red sun, where he and a young alien lad fight crime like Batman and Robin in Gotham City?
-- Nelson Camden, Phoenix, Arizona

Dear Nelson,
By sheer coincidence a story with this very plot is in the works. Keep watching Action Comics and Superman Magazine for this upcoming tale.

Yeah, Uncle Mort never planted letters.
