Superboy #24

This 1953 DC gem features a wonderfully offbeat cover by Win Mortimer: a noticeably rounder Superboy straining to lift a car out of a ditch while two concerned women look on, one gently reminding him he's "a little overweight." Promising the story "The Super-Fat Boy of Steel!" right on the cover, the issue wears its playful Silver Age charm openly, blending superhero action with a light comedic touch. At just ten cents, it's a delightful snapshot of the era's willingness to have fun with its heroes.
