Superboy #62

This January 1958 DC issue introduces Gloria Kent as "The Sister of Superboy," and the cover by Curt Swan and Stan Kaye pulls you right into a fireplace-side family moment charged with tension. Superboy stands in costume using what appears to be his heat vision on a small object while speaking to a young woman — Gloria — who sits across from an older bespectacled gentleman, her thought bubble revealing she already knows Clark Kent's secret. Otto Binder and John Sikela bring an intimate, domestic drama to a ten-cent comic that promises something a little different from the usual super-heroics.
