Pre-Crisis Premonition: Superman and His Cousins

Superman holding a dying Supergirl might be one of the most icon comic images ever.
George Perez's amazing art on Crisis and numerous other books will be seen again.

Homages usually come after the original but Gil Kane did it first, pre-Crisis, with an Earth-2 twist.
Power Girl of course isn't dead, and the story itself isn't worth mentioning. It's all about the cover.

Ed McGinnis flipped the characters for this imaginary take.
Not a real comic. It was featured on the tv series Fringe in the "Red Universe"

And we get girl-on-girl from Ed Benes.
I'm not even sure what the story here is. Guess it goes on the re-read list.

My top two are George Perez and Gil Kane. Which is your favorite?
