A memoriam note explains that the story was pulled due to Kennedy's assassination. The story did finally appear in Superman #170 at President Lyndon Johnson's request. Included is a detail from the original JFK and Superman cover by Curt Swan and George Klein that was planned for Superman (Volume 1) #170. It has never been printed anywhere else. [1]
