Action Comics #1, along with a bunch of other classic comics covers, got the lamp treatment on - of all places - a lamp store's blog, which are all quite good at emulating the relevant artist's style and integrating home lighting implements into the action. Bizarre, but fun.
What the cover above only hints at is that the Lamp of Tomorrow had a long and rich history going back to the Golden Age of lighting. He was active even back in the Edison days when he made his greatest enemy by accidentally burning the lampshade off a young genius called Lux Luthor. (And the derivative Captain MaxLite strip of course followed suit with a similarly bulb-exposed villain called Dr. Sylvania.) Yep, a rich and ridiculous history...
