Limited Collectors' Edition #C-45
In this 1976 Limited Collectors' Edition, Jerry Siegel and George Papp deliver a classic tale with a twist: Mxyzptlk’s first encounter with Superboy, where the mischievous imp tries every trick in the book to outwit the Boy of Steel—only to be outsmarted in the end. Dick Giordano’s dynamic cover captures the chaos, while the story remains a clever, self-contained showcase of one of DC’s most enduring prankster villains.
