Superboy Ruins the Holidays

Superboy [vol 2] #39 (1983)

It’s the Superboy Holiday Special!!! Starring….Superboy! Clark’s Sweet Plaid Winter Overcoat! Pollution! Earth-39 Apocalyptic Children Wearing Basketball Shorts and Brandishing Spears! Christmas Cuckolding! And from Peaches & Herb…Herb!

Superboy has this friend, Bash Bashford, and Bash is pretty sour over the holiday. So, like any normal teenager, Superboy wraps his friend up mummy-style in his cape and travels to a different earth to prove that Christmas means something to everyone, only to put his friend in immediate danger. Turns out Earth-39 is a Mad Max reality where holidays, clean air and law enforcement don’t exist. Whoops.
