Adventure Comics #160

A charming slice of early-1950s DC storytelling, this January 1951 issue of Adventure Comics features a delightful cover by Al Wenzel showing a smiling, confident Superboy soaring through the sky while carrying a delighted young woman bundled in a fur coat — much to the wide-eyed amazement of onlookers in cars below. The banner promises "another exciting story of Superman when he was Superboy," and the tale inside, "Superboy: Prince Charming!," suggests the Boy of Steel is in full heroic — and perhaps romantic — form. With interior art by Curt Swan and John Fischetti, this 52-big-pages package delivers plenty of Golden Age adventure for a single dime.
