classic Jack Burnley flag cover, Shuster art; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 7 (CBI)
Superman #24 offers another classic cover from Jack Burnley, featuring the Man of Steel posing before an unfurled flag. The patriotic fervor is timeless, but this issue also serves as a cultural curio with the cover's use of the term "adventure strip," which would soon be abandoned after the end of WWII. In this case, however, the book boasts the classic adventure of "Perils of Poor Lois," in which Superman uses his super-imagination to do some serious daydreaming about a regular life with Lois Lane. That story includes the first appearance of Lois Lane's father, although this Sam Lane is too much of a fantasy to be canon.
