Superboy #47

Two versions of the Man of Steel — young Superboy and his adult counterpart Superman — hurtle toward each other fists-first while a crowd of photographers and spectators watches from below, all captured in Curt Swan and Stan Kaye's clean, dynamic cover art. The bold tagline promises "the most amazing experiment of all time," framing this meeting of an irresistible force and an immovable object as a genuine spectacle. At just ten cents, this 1956 DC issue — written by Otto Binder with interior art by Swan and Kaye — makes good on its promise of all-new stories with a premise that's hard to resist.
