“The Space Adventures of Krypto!”

In "The Space Adventures of Krypto!", Superboy's closest friend Freddy Shaw, struck by brain fever, unwittingly reveals Clark Kent’s secret identity to a trio of unlikely listeners—his half-brother Joe, his buddy Rick Farrow, and even a dying man in his final moments. The truth, spoken in delirium, sets off a chain of events that could expose Superboy’s double life, all while Krypto the Superdog takes center stage in a wild, interstellar escapade. Written by Robert Bernstein and illustrated by George Papp, with a cover by Curt Swan and Stan Kaye, this 1959 classic blends suburban secrets with cosmic adventure.

Freddy Shaw becomes Clark Kent's best friend and is let in on his secret identity as Superboy. Freddy proceeds to blab to his ex-convict half-brother, Joe, and his buddy Rick Farrow and finally in his last few hours to anyone who was close to his death bed. All of Freddy's blabbing was caused by his brain fever delirium.
