Superman #109

A mid-1950s gem from DC's Superman line, issue #109 features Al Plastino's cover depicting a remarkable dinner-table scene: Clark Kent uses his X-ray vision to examine a Superman puppet held by a tuxedoed figure, while Lois Lane looks on in amazement. The story inside is titled "The Man Who Stole Superman's Powers," and the cover teases the puppet's eerie accuracy — complete with a speech bubble marveling that it's correct "to the last detail." As a bonus, this November 1956 issue also advertises a Giant 5,000 Prize Contest, making it a lively snapshot of the era's comics-reading experience.
