Superboy 1949 #181 - 3.5 - $5.00

A mysterious man claims to be Jules Verne who has time traveled to the modern day.

A time capsule found underneath Metropolis reveals Jules Verne, who experimented with time in 1875. He wants to see the wonders of the world, so Superboy, with his top-secret clearance, shows off America's weaponry. Until Superboy catches a few anachronisms and exposes a spy - out to test Superboy's ability to keep a secret!

Lana Lang accompanies Superboy to a meeting of the Legion and applies for membership. Though she is rejected, she participates in a mission and is elected to the Legion Reserve.

Lana Lang imagines what it would be like to be married to Superboy. But her dreams go awry when dream-Superboy sells muscle-making equipment to weaklings under false pretenses. The girls razz her as Superboy rushes away and returns with rescued orphans. She still comes last? Lana dumps ice cream on his head, and Superboy is left stranded and surrounded by Lana's amorous rivals.
