☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "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.
In "Superboy's Nightmare Dream House," Superboy is swindled by a traveling huckster named Uncle Jeff into believing he’s been granted a magical dream house—only to discover the truth and face the challenge of making amends, all while protecting the man’s unsuspecting nephews from the fallout.
In a nostalgic moment, Superboy shares a quirky memory with Martha: the time he accidentally melted his glasses while using X-ray vision in front of Lana. Determined to prevent a repeat, he sets out to craft new spectacles from the invincible glass salvaged from his Kryptonian rocket—turning a childhood mishap into a practical solution.
