Superman #72

Superman streaks through space in pursuit of a sleek red rocket ship crammed with a group of self-described "failures" in this eye-catching 1951 cover by Win Mortimer. The cover teases "The Flight of the Failures," promising what it calls the strangest space voyage of all time — and with the Man of Steel flying fist-first after a vessel whose passengers have apparently given up on Earth, the setup is hard to resist. At 52 big pages for just a dime, this September/October issue also features interior work from the creative team of Al Schwartz, Wayne Boring, and Stan Kaye.
