Description

Superboy #2 (DC, 1949) CGC VF 8.0 Off-white to white pages. This second issue of "The Adventures of Superman When He was a Boy" takes us back to Smallville excitement right from the cover. Well, excitement is relative, but "Superboy Day" is big in the Mid-Western town where Ma and Pa Kent raised the orphan from Krypton. Not yet The Man, somehow The Boy manages to raise the ire of Doctor Wertham, that watchdog of America's juvenile readers, who cites this seemingly innocuous issue in his unfortunately influential, Seduction of the Innocent. But the real reason you should snag this book is that it is a wonderful copy of the next-to-earliest issue of a major, major title that made the leap from Golden to Silver Age without skipping a beat, Dr. Wertham's efforts notwithstanding. Overstreet 2002 VF 8.0 value = $1,194.
