“The Renegade Super-Hero! Part I”

In "The Renegade Super-Hero! Part I," Super-Turtle takes an unexpected detour from his usual heroics when a baby elephant at the zoo refuses to eat, missing its mother. Written and illustrated by Henry Boltinoff, this 1964 adventure sees the aquatic hero racing across continents to reunite the little one with its herd—bringing every elephant from Africa to the zoo in a heartwarming, larger-than-life quest. The cover by Curt Swan and George Klein captures the moment with whimsy and wonder.
