Superboy #69

In "How Superboy Learned to Fly!", Superboy faces a daring new threat when criminals unleash a kryptonite flame thrower, forcing him to rely on his only functional robot to defend Metropolis—though the machine is quickly worn down by the gang's relentless attacks. Written by Bill Finger and illustrated by George Papp, this 1958 adventure showcases Superboy’s ingenuity and determination in a high-stakes battle where even his mechanical allies are pushed to their limits. The cover, by Curt Swan and Stan Kaye, captures the moment of tension with striking clarity.
