Superboy #43

Smallville's favorite son swaps the sky for the soil in this September 1955 DC charmer, with Curt Swan and Stan Kaye's cover showing Superboy streaking at full speed while pulling a plow — turning farmwork into a blur of red cape and freshly turned earth — as two delighted onlookers cheer him on. The featured story, "The Super-Farmer of Smallville!," sets the tone for an issue that also promises "Clark Kent's Coach!" and the Otto Binder–written "The Great Superboy Souvenir Hunt," illustrated by John Sikela. It's a warm slice of Silver Age Smallville that captures the Boy of Steel's wholesome, can-do spirit at its most endearing.
