Superman #101

From 1955 comes this wonderfully strange slice of Silver Age storytelling, with cover art by Al Plastino showcasing a deeply alarmed Superman surrounded by a swirling rainbow halo, desperately warning bystanders to flee while a glass-still Lois Lane stands frozen nearby — a testament to the era's delightfully inventive peril. The featured story, "The Rainbow Doom," poses a genuine threat that even the Man of Steel seems powerless to stop, while interior art by Wayne Boring and Stan Kaye brings the adventure to life throughout the rest of the issue. At just ten cents, this November 1955 issue captures everything thrilling about Superman's world when imagination ran wild.
