Description
Published 1980.
Unhappy Anniversary.
written by Gerry Conway
A 'Just Imagine' story showing a possible future for Superman where he and Lois are married and have an non super powered teenage daughter, Laura.
On his page Lois enters an artist's studio which is located underwater in Metropolis Bay to check on her surprise commission of a hologram statue of Clark, herself and her daughter only to find the artist murdered. And apparently the artist discovered her secret as the statue shows Superman in place of Clark.
Now Lois must use all her investigative skills to get to the bottom of this murder.
She does discover that the artist was murdered by a crazed art critic who was against the new hologram art forms and she also comes up with a plausible explanation for the Superman, Lois and Laura hologram statue.
Left unresolved in this story is a troubling diagnosis that Lois received from her doctor after her routine checkup.
There are some nice future predictions in this story, computer generated art (digital) art,
phasing out of gas powered vehicles in favor of electric (happening very slowly now) and building underwater domiciles (hasn't happened yet).

One of the reason I picked up this page was because I am a big fan of Bob Oksner.
One of the reasons his art is often overlooked is because he spent a large part of his career drawing humor comics before moving on to superhero genre.

Sounds like a fun story! But after writing all that, how could you tease but not tell us what that troubling diagnosis was that Lois received from her doctor after her routine checkup!!! I mean she's still alive, so I'm fairly calm about it, but I still want to know!

The diagnosis is never revealed in the story and since this dtory was set in a future that may or may not happen, we may never know.

Ohhhh, okay. I thought you meant they revealed the diagnosis, but then never resolved what happened to her later, since it was a one off story.

Well, I want art, an original Oksner
I have sworn, take originals in
And if I had Bob Oksner bill for all the art I've won
There'd be a mountain of DC piled up to my chin (hey)

Bob Oksner drew me good, my Laura ultra strong
He said, be true to yourself, it can still go wrong
But there's just one Clark Kent you mixed Superman
You can fool with old Martha

But don't mess with commission hologram
Don't mess with commission hologram
Don't mess with commission hologram
Don't mess with commission hologram

Great page and I always like it when by looking at the characters that are shown on the page you see from what time period the page is.
