“The Super-Brat”

In "The Super-Brat," Superboy faces a uniquely awkward moment when his X-ray vision accidentally melts his glasses in front of Lana, prompting a heartfelt flashback to his early days. Written by Otto Binder and illustrated by John Sikela, this 1959 tale sees Clark and Martha recall how he later used the invincible glass from his Kryptonian rocket to craft new, indestructible eyewear—just in case. The cover by Curt Swan and Stan Kaye captures the moment with classic charm.
