“Nature Boy vs. the Jiver from Jupiter”

In "Nature Boy vs. the Jiver from Jupiter," Jerry Siegel and John Buscema deliver a delightfully odd 1957 adventure where a stranded alien from Jupiter, Ikzip, offers to save Centerville from bankruptcy by putting his rocket on display—on one condition. When the town’s finances are restored, Ikzip demands the entire city be handed over, and with a hypnotic music device called the Hypnojive, he begins to take control of the youth. Nature Boy stands in his way, determined to protect Centerville. The cover by Dick Giordano and Vince Alascia captures the wild, otherworldly clash perfectly.

The Mayor announces to the City Council that the city is flat broke. As if in answer to their prayers, a strange being from Jupiter, Ikzip rockets into town and offers to put his rocket on display and admissions can be kept by the city......for a small favor. Once the city has regained financial security, Ikzip renders his bill: that the town of Centerville be given to Ikzip for immediate transfer to the planet Jupiter! When the Mayor refuses, Ikzip brings out his Hypnojive, which plays music that brings all youth under his control, but Nature Boy prevents Ikzip from taking them to Jupiter.
