I am SO sad you started in a way in the Superman Blue era...LOL...
But I guess one point might be that Superman does not HAVE to be a product of his time, he wasn't in the 60s when I grew up either...

I just got it for the superman comic it came with, which I still have. I still have the glasses too, BTW. That comic is crazy cool with three stories.
anyway, Here is the story that made me a fan all over again:
