“Mr. Mxyztplk Goes to College!”

Here's a delightful slice of 1947 DC Comics charm: Superman #46 features a cover by Wayne Boring and Stan Kaye that captures the Man of Steel in an unexpectedly everyday predicament — crouched down to fix a tire on an old-fashioned automobile while a uniformed police officer leans over the car and an elderly woman in the driver's seat looks on with apparent impatience. It's a wonderfully lighthearted image that showcases Superman's willingness to help with the humblest of tasks, traffic signal and all, packed into a generous 52-page magazine for just ten cents.
