Looks like I have to eat my words about Swan. John Sikela seems to be the other notable Superboy artist.

In any event, I wasn't reading comics in the fifties, so my exposure was mostly to the George Papp Superboy, and that's the one that stayed with me.

I also preferred Papp's rendition of Green Arrow over Lee Elias. At the time, I HATED Elias' GA. What'd I know. I was a dumb kid.

Don't tell anyone, because I know this is anathema, but I also preferred Papp's Green Arrow to Kirby's!

I don't have my copy anymore so I can't look this up:

Everyone of my age probably remembers the dreaded house ad for the Superboy comic that was noticably without the "STILL 10¢" box in the corner. What's up wit this," we thought.

We soon discovered that it was because DC comics were for the first time in comics history raising its prices to 12¢!!

This Superboy comic featured Lana Lang in the foreground with her home-made "Superboy Secret Identity Detection Kit." I think she was making a plaster cast of Clark's or Superboy's footprint in order to compare it to the other's later.

It was a pretty cool two-part story. Pete Ross was going out of his mind trying to live his own life and still protect Superboy's secret 24/7 while Lana was on another of her rampages.

I remember as a kid how jarring it was after reading Part One to turn the page and discover that Part Two was by A DIFFERENT ARTIST! George Papp did one part, and another artist the other. This just wasn''t done back then!

My question to my fellow Old Farts is Who drew the second part of the story? Was it the stalwart Al Plastino, or someone else?

But here it is, the story I was confused about:

Superboy No. 96 April 1962
“The New Boy of Steel” (Part 1; 13 pages)
Part 2: “The Enemy Superboy” (12 pages)

Artists: George Papp (part 1), Al Plastino (part 2) THIS IS WHAT JARRED ME AS A KID!

Synopsis: A Kryptonite ray of Lex Luthor’s has an unexpected affect when it is altered by a photographer’s flash into a beam that transfers Superboy’s powers to Pete Ross, who is standing beside him at the time. Using his new powers, Pete Ross takes a time trip three days into the future and sees a headline on the Daily Planet building in Metropolis indicating that Lex Luthor will destroy Superboy in that time. Thus, Pete takes a Superboy costume from one of Clark’s robots, acts arrogantly towards his former friend, and takes on the identity of Superboy so that he will suffer whatever fate is in store for the Boy of Steel.

1. The "Superboy Archives, V1" are on hold for some reason. This book would contain material from 1945-1946, and
   
2. There is a constant interest in a Silver Age Superman Archive

So why not scratch 2 itches with one book? A Silver Age Superboy makes perfect sense!

But is Superboy big enough to have 2 different Archive lines running concurrently? And how many GA Superboy volumes would there be before it catches up to the Boy Of Steel Archives? And more importantly, do we need 18 + Superboy Archives?

I love this stuff. LGOSH, Supergirl, have a Krypto archive if need be, even a Legion of Super Pets archive.

The artists seem to be exclusively Curt Swan or John Sikela until late in 1957, when we start to get some Al Plastino and Craig Flessel (Flessel inks a lot of Swans stuff from '55 forward, but he apparently gets to do some pencils in late 1957 and early 1958)

What do you folks think?

I agree.
The only consolation for some of us is that it at least gives us something to do in our spare time - trying to identify writers and artists (the latter perhaps more successfully in my case) of mainly pre-1970 non-credited DC comics.
I am amazed the number of times that even DC get the credits wrong in reprints published from the 1970s on.
They are not alone, however, many comics' web sites give incorrect credits, even the normally sound Grand Comics Database.
Apart from Bob Kane frequently being credited for others work, usually Sheldon Moldoff's, one of the more common errors also seems to involve Moldoff (and Stan Kaye and others) inks being wrongly credited to George Klein.
