Does anybody know the nature of Siegel’s original Superboy pitch?
If I remember correctly (I think Gerry Jones goes into greater detail with it in his history of the Golden Age), Siegel looked at Superboy as a peer of Superman, who would use his powers to pull pranks (as he’d start as an 11-year-old) who’d eventually mature. It is very similar to his later “Funnyman” comic strip.
