Illustration on Cover, Front		 1   Previous art credit given to Joe Shuster, but both Superman pose and inks look more like Boring.

The scene depicted is rather anachronistic. Although Superman never personally got involved in fighting on the European front (except for the famous, non-canonical, short story where he ends the war in a matter of hours by bringing Hitler and Mussolini to justice), the bi-plane, the mounted cannon, and the barbed wire on the hill suggests a first world war setting.
