“Clark Kent's Private Butler!”

A dapper butler holds up a neatly pressed Clark Kent suit and cheerfully announces to Superboy that his civilian attire is ready — while the Boy of Steel himself comes flying in through the open window, still in full costume. This delightful cover for "Clark Kent's Private Butler!" perfectly captures the double-life juggling act at the heart of so many great Superboy stories, rendered here by Win Mortimer with crisp, inviting line work. For a dime in 1951, DC was delivering this kind of breezy, imaginative charm with real consistency.
