              Darkness                            Lord Byron I had a dream, which was not all a dream. The bright sun was extinguished, and the stars Did wander darkling in the eternal space, Rayless, and pathless, and the icy earth Swung blind and blackening in the moonless air; Morn came and went--and came, and brought no day, And men forgot their passions in the dread Of this their desolation; and all hearts Were chilled into a selfish prayer for light: And they did live by watchfires--and the thrones, The palaces of crowned kings--the huts, The habitations of all things which dwell, Were burnt for beacons; cities were consumed, And men were gathered round their blazing homes To look once more into each other's face; Happy were those who dwelt within the eye Of the volcanoes, and their mountain torch: A fearful hope was all the world contained; Forests were se...

These first two pages of the Wonder Boy installment story from National Comics #1 from July 1940 is eerily reminiscent of a certain Super origin story. However, at least Siegel and Shuster had the decency to have the Kryptonian's rocket crash in the middle of nowhere in Kansas. This one has the kid destroy half of Chicago where "many people are killed." Yet in just the next panel, he is "ready for adventure." File this one under one of those WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING? categories.
