“Super Manor!”

In "Super Manor!", Superman pays a goodwill visit to small towns during National Town Week, only to be overwhelmed by the townspeople's enthusiasm—especially in Mapleville, where they beg him to stay. What starts as a simple gesture of goodwill quickly spirals into chaos as his very presence disrupts life in ways he never anticipated, testing the limits of heroism and community. Written by Bill Woolfolk and illustrated by Wayne Boring with inks by Stan Kaye, this 1953 classic features a cover by Win Mortimer.

Superman is invited to pay a visit to hundreds of small communities during National Town Week. At one of these, the crowd clamors for him to come and live amongst them, but he declines, explaining how disruptive having him in close proximity would be. Nevertheless, they persist, so he chooses one spot - Mapleville. As predicted, Superman's presence causes major upheavals to all facets of rural community life, and the inhabitants ask him to leave.
