Nature Boy, no. 3
Title
Nature Boy, no. 3
Description
Even though it is numbered as issue #3, this is the first issue of Nature Boy. Issues #1 and #2 were titled Danny Blaze, and featured stories about a heroic firefighter. Charlton Comics' Nature Boy would last only 3 issues, before changing names again to the children's humor title Li'L Rascal Twins. Nature Boy was written by Jerry Siegel, the co-creator of Superman in the 1930s, and John Buscema, who would become a longtime Marvel Comics artist. In this issue, Nature Boy's origin story is revealed. As a small child, David Crandall is lost at sea during a storm. He is rescued by a group of god-like rulers, who give him powers over sea, wind, fire, earth, love, sky, electricity, and cold. Nature Boy uses his "staggering powers for the triumph of good and right living!"
