Adventure Comics #225

In "The Bird with Super Powers," Superboy finds himself framed when a clever mynah bird—gifted with unexpected abilities after drinking from the same mystical African pool as Chandu, the Gorilla with X-Ray Eyes—gets stolen by a crook who paints it in Superboy’s colors. Written by Alvin Schwartz and brought to life with crisp, expressive art by Curt Swan and inks by George Klein, this 1956 Adventure Comics tale blends mystery and whimsy, with a cover by Curt Swan and Stan Kaye capturing the bird’s curious charm.
