Comment(s):

This story likely starts on April 12th as it ends on Thursday, April 19th, the anniversary of the Daily Planet's founding.
When Superman experiments with a "youth-restoring device," a version of him does the same on a parallel Earth, causing an explosion and sending him to this reality. He seeks out Lana and Lois, recognizing them from his world. Laer, when he is restored to his correct age, her returns to his Earth and marries both of them, presumably his Earth allows bigamy.
