“The Great Superboy Hoax! Part 1”

In "The Great Superboy Hoax! Part 1," a young Kal-El faces his first real test when Brainiac kidnaps the infant from Krypton, only to find that under Earth’s yellow sun, the boy’s latent powers begin to awaken in ways even the alien villain didn’t anticipate. Written by Jerry Siegel and brought to life with crisp, classic art by Curt Swan and George Klein, this 1963 DC classic marks a pivotal moment in Superboy’s early adventures. The cover by Swan and Klein captures the tension of the moment with striking clarity.
