Adventure Comics #170

On a packed football field, a red-haired Lana Lang leans in for a kiss with a broad-shouldered player in jersey number 41 — while a very jealous Superboy flies overhead, heart symbols and all, watching the whole scene unfold. Win Mortimer's cover captures a wonderfully human moment for the Boy of Steel, framing the story "Lana Lang's Big Crush!" with warmth and a hint of teenage heartache. For a 1951 dime, this issue delivers a charming blend of romance and super-powered rivalry that feels as fun today as it must have on the newsstand.
