In "Superboy's Romance with Cleopatra!", Superboy's attempt to impress the girls of Smallville backfires when he claims to be smitten with the ancient Egyptian queen—prompting Prof. Potter to whip up a time machine to bring her to the present. Written by Robert Bernstein and illustrated by Curt Swan with inks by George Klein, this 1961 adventure blends classic teen drama with time-travel hijinks, all wrapped in a cover by Curt Swan and George Klein that captures the whimsy of the premise.
