Superboy #2

Smallville rolls out the red carpet in this May–June 1949 issue, with a banner proclaiming "Smallville Celebrates Superboy Day" as the Boy of Steel soars triumphantly overhead while a miniature Superboy figure is paraded through the cheering crowd below. Al Wenzel's cover captures the warm hometown pride perfectly, blending the spectacle of a civic celebration with the wholesome charm that made this era of DC storytelling so endearing. Inside, John Sikela and Ed Dobrotka bring "The Stunts of Superboy!" to life — a promising setup for all the derring-do Smallville's favorite son can muster.
