Superboy #183

This 1972 DC offering presents one of the more delightfully offbeat Superboy covers of the era: a toddler-sized Boy of Steel — cape flying, fist raised — stands triumphant over a sprawling gorilla while declaring himself "Mighty Lord of the Jungle," surrounded by a ring of wide-eyed apes in a lush jungle setting. Nick Cardy's pencils and inks bring a playful energy to the absurd spectacle of Superbaby asserting dominance over the animal kingdom. Bonus value for fans: this 52-page issue also promises a new Legion of Super-Heroes story alongside the Karkan-themed main tale.
