With art by Al Wenzel and inks by George Roussos, this 1949 adventure captures the young hero’s clever hustle through school life, all rendered in the classic style of the era. The cover, also by Al Wenzel, perfectly frames the moment with a playful, action-packed glimpse of the story’s premise.
Superboy faces his toughest challenge yet: acing every grade in a single day to satisfy the truant officer and keep his secret identity safe. With time running out and classrooms stacked from kindergarten to high school, he’s got to prove he can handle the curriculum—without revealing his powers.
In "The Sweetheart of the Seven Seas," Aquaman finds himself unexpectedly smitten after spotting swimming star Esther Grable at the movies—a rare indulgence for the undersea hero. On a cross-country train ride to Hollywood, he drifts into a dream where Esther reveals a surprisingly shallow side, claiming she can't swim and relies on a stunt double. Waking up just as the train arrives, he’s met by the real Esther, who only wants to ask him to teach her to swim—leaving him to grapple with the disconnect between fantasy and reality.
