selegue Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 That Superboy....he's such a joker: What's with that image on the backside of Superboy's adversary? Subliminal images? Was Wertham right? I don't think that count as subliminal. How about "blatant"? Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 That Superboy....he's such a joker: This is why you read your GA comics! Issue number? Thanks, Jack Thanks. That's got to be a tough issue to find! Has DC published an archive of the early Superboy issues? Surprisingly Good Girl Art cover for what was (I thought) supposed to be a kids' book. Is the hot redhead Lana Lang? Most of the Superboy artists drew her much younger and "leaner" at that time, right? Al Plastino (Pencils) Bob Oksner? (Inks) I'm still puzzling over the physics of Superboy charging himself with electricity by rubbing his fingers together. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack It's not Lana, she wasn't introduced till number 10, and on the cover till number 11. From issue 1 till 18 many covers were scenes not related to the stories inside. The cover on issue six is one of my favorites of the whole run. Those girls really capture the style of the time, although Superboy stories were *supposed* to be from the thirties at the time.

Bobby socks and jeans -- hardly 1930s style! The girls' sight lines are a little jarring for a kids' book, especially the brunette's, but I suppose I'm one of Wertham's "children who know how to look".

Silver Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 This issue was from 1950, and Superboy stories were supposed to be twenty years ealier By the mid 80's Superboy should have discovered the Beatles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
