Adventure Comics #226

In "Superboy's Flying Rivals," a mysterious theft at a mythology exhibit takes a bizarre turn when statues of legendary fliers appear to take flight on their own—leaving Superboy baffled and on the case. With Otto Binder’s clever plotting and John Sikela’s dynamic art bringing the action to life, the story unfolds as Superboy faces off against a clever gang using the statues’ apparent magic to pull off daring aerial heists. Curt Swan’s cover captures the whimsy and wonder of the tale, showing Superboy mid-leap with the floating statues in the background.
