“Clark Kent Goes to Reform School!”

In "Clark Kent Goes to Reform School!", a 1961 Adventure Comics classic, the Daily Planet's mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent finds himself unexpectedly enrolled in reform school—much to his bewilderment and the readers’ delight. Written by Jack Miller and illustrated by Jim Mooney, this quirky tale blends humor and heroics as Clark’s dual identity takes a surprising detour, all while Aquaman and Aqualad battle Professor Enos Snark, a villain using stolen tech to empower pirates. The cover by Curt Swan and Stan Kaye captures the story’s playful tone with a striking image of Clark in his new, unlikely surroundings.
