WC: SUPERBOY #131

For those who know, the significance of this issue of SUPERBOY is readily apparent. For those who don’t, you’ll be finding out all about it by the time we get to the end of the coverage of this issue. By 1966 when this issue was first published, editor Mort Weisinger’s approach to the Superman titles was starting to look a little bit long in the tooth. It didn’t really help that the reduction of…

March 1968. For more than 20 years, the Superboy strip depicted Jonathan and Martha Kent as rather elderly, looking more like Clark's grandparents. However, if you look at Bronze Age Superboy stories from the 1970s and 1980s (e.g., SUPERMAN: THE SECRET YEARS), the Kents appear noticeably younger. Bizarrely, this was not a retcon: The Kents were actually de-aged in this weirdly metatextual story in SUPERBOY #145.

The premise is that on the otherdimensional world of Thraxx, a sleazy TV producer named Jolax has created a pilot for a new Superboy TV show, which he has filmed by surreptitiously recording real events on Earth with his "super-telescope." However, his show's prospective sponsors worry that Superboy's elderly foster parents will be a turnoff for younger viewers. The sponsors ask Jolax to recast those parts, which Jolax can't do because the Kents are real people unaware that they're being filmed. Instead, Jolax arranges to slip the Kents a "youth serum" to make them younger!

Alarmed that his parents' sudden rejuvenation might lead residents of Smallville to suspect that Clark Kent is secretly Superboy, Superboy comes up with an absurd scheme to blame the effect on a passing comet, which involves also de-aging a number of other people (with the remains of the doctored lemonade) so that Jonathan and Martha won't be the only ones affected. (The ethics of this plan are left as an exercise to the interested reader.)

In the end, this doesn't help Jolax — the sponsors like the "new actors," but decide that they'd rather have a show about an adult Superman instead, and the Kents are now too young for that. However, at the close of the story, Clark and his parents break the fourth wall to explain that the Kents' new look is the new normal:

The change did stick through the '70s and early 1980s, although it created discrepancies with previously published, still-canonical stories showing the circumstances of the Kents' subsequent deaths, which took place only a few years (in story time) after this issue. This was later addressed by explaining (in ACTION COMICS #500) that the youth serum unexpectedly wore off about a month before their deaths. What tangled webs, etc.

And now, the cruelest blow of all, as the dog of steel snubs the boy of steel…

WC: SUPERBOY #136

This was the final issue of SUPERBOY that I got as a part of my Windfall Comics purchase of 1988, in which I bought a box of almost 150 Silver Age comics for $50.00, a huge bargain even at that time. By this point, editor Mort Weisinger’s Superman titles were beginning to run out of steam, as they were very much out of step with the culture at large, comic or otherwise. One also gets a sense that…
