“The Average American!”

From January 1946, Action Comics #92 brings Superman to the worksite in a thoroughly charming cover by Jack Burnley and Stan Kaye — the Man of Steel is shown mid-dig, tunneling bare-handed through the earth while a couple of relaxed workers lounge nearby next to a "Superman Men at Work" sign, hats and tools scattered around them. It's a wonderfully down-to-earth image that plays the humor straight, pairing superhuman effort with everyday leisure. Inside, writer Joe Samachson and artist William White deliver "The Average American!" — a 52-page package that makes this a genuinely satisfying read from DC's postwar era.
