In "Superboy -- Super-Cowboy!", Superboy answers a heartfelt call from his teacher, Edwin Sayers, who's traded his classroom for a dusty Western ranch. With a dash of whimsy and a whole lot of heroics, Superboy arrives ahead of the class to transform the rundown property into a welcoming frontier paradise—complete with a stetson-shaped house and a herd of wild horses—while quietly thwarting a land-grabbing scheme by a rival rancher. Written by Bill Finger and illustrated by Al Wenzel, with a lively cover by Win Mortimer, this 1948 adventure blends small-town charm with classic superhero flair.
