“When Lana Lang First Suspected Clark Kent!”

A wonderfully imaginative 1961 DC gem, this issue of Superboy features a cover by Curt Swan and Stan Kaye that presents a delightful prehistoric puzzle: a massive, horned dinosaur-like creature dominates the scene, its open jaws and enormous bulk making it genuinely imposing — yet visible within a thought-bubble emerging from its head is tiny Superbaby, carefree and seemingly unaware of any danger. The cover promises two treats in one, spotlighting a Superbaby tale called "The Thought Monster of Krypton!" alongside the introduction of Kolli, billed as "Krypto's Super-Sweetheart," while a charming funny animal character peeks in from the side, cheerfully mistaking the whole situation for playtime.
