Superman #56
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeSuperman looks decidedly flustered on Wayne Boring and Stan Kaye's cover, where the Man of Steel — cape billowing, costume visibly tattered — is run ragged by a pair of energetic young children who dart around him in a swirling blur of motion. The cover copy teases "Smarty Pants," described as the infant prodigy who really runs Superman ragged, making this 1949 DC issue feel like a refreshingly playful change of pace from the usual super-powered threats. With a 52-page story by Alvin Schwartz and art by Wayne Boring and Stan Kaye, there's plenty of room for the fun to unfold.
