“The Super-Mischief of Superbaby!”

This 1962 DC issue spotlights the irresistible mischief of Superbaby, shown on Curt Swan and George Klein's cover gleefully bending apart jail bars to free a prisoner — much to the visible alarm of a bespectacled onlooker who warns "Clark" that everyone in Smallville will now know he has super-powers. The yellow-bright cover perfectly captures the light, playful tone that made Superboy such a charming corner of the DC universe at the time. Written by Jerry Siegel with art by George Papp, this issue also promises a bonus tale — "The Secret Life of Krypto" — making it a genuinely fun package for fans of the Boy of Steel's earliest adventures.
