Superman #69

Superman #69 brings the Man of Steel face-to-face with a duo of dedicated troublemakers in "The Prankster's Apprentice!" — and the cover, penciled by Wayne Boring and inked by Stan Kaye, sets the mischievous tone perfectly. Superman sits with bemused confidence as a young boy crouches at his feet operating a buzzer device, while a rotund, grinning villain looks on approvingly, surrounded by gag props like sneeze powder, itch powder, and a "Shocker" contraption. With 52 big pages of 1951 DC fun for just a dime, this issue promises a lively battle of wits between the invulnerable hero and two very determined mischief-makers.
