Item Description

Here's an issue of SUPERBOY that I remember reading on a summer trip to my grandmother's house! But this copy is in a LOT better condition that the one I climbed into a tree to read!

In "The Town That Hated Superboy!", written by Otto Binder and drawn by SUPERBOY stalwart George Papp, SUPERBOY is driven out of town when his super-vision enlarges microbes into monsters, but Lex Luthor learns that the microbes are enlarged by a combination of the super-vision and his experimental Gas X. After Superboy inhales the entire contents of the gas and then exhales it in outer space, he is welcomed back to Smallville

You also get "The Samson of Smallville!", written by Leo Dorfman with George Papp doing the art chores again. To cover for his display of super-strength in an emergency, CLARK KENT pretends that he has been given the power of Samson by touching a lock of hair supposedly from the Biblical hero in a collection of famous hair. But when Smallville citizens constantly make demands of Clark, he decides to convincingly "lose" Samson's power, and leaves the strength feats to SUPERBOY!

We grade this lovely, nice clean and sturdy issue at a 9.0 VF/NM which is the grade the auction house from which we bought gave it! Overstreet states a current price tag for this condition at $82 . . but we're parting with it for just $50.

Plus our always L•O•W shipping charges make this a SUPER bargain for the nicest copy on HipComic!!
