Adventure Comics #165

Adventure Comics #165 brings a delightful 1951 spotlight to Superboy in "Superboy's School for Stuntmen!" — and Win Mortimer's cover sets the scene perfectly, with the Boy of Steel soaring confidently above a group of stunt performers gathered around a large striped ball on a platform, their eyes turned skyward. The tagline promises "the most spectacular stunts in the world," and the cheerful yellow cover radiates the optimistic energy that made DC's early Silver Age books so appealing. At 52 big pages for just a dime, this is a generous slice of superhero fun from one of DC's most dependable anthology titles.
