I had the comic book where that happened. My mother threw it away. I wonder what it’s worth today?

The story has been retold many times. The reprints/retellings are not important. Also, Luther was established as a villain far earlier, so this was not our introduction to the villain. It does confirm that Smallville is rather extraordinary. Without looking it up, I think the original would have been in Adventure Comics in the fifties.
