Superman #110

Few sights in 1957 comics could match the sheer audacity of a massive blue ant pinning the Man of Steel against a rooftop while a terrified bystander shouts, "Run! Even Superman is no match for the Giant Ant!" Al Plastino's cover for Superman #110 sells the threat completely — the creature looms enormous over a helpless-looking Superman, city buildings receding in the background as panicked figures scatter below. Inside, Wayne Boring and Stan Kaye bring the all-new stories to life, including "The Secret of the Superman Trophy," making this a ten-cent package that delivers on its bold cover promise.
