How Lex Luthor Lost His Hair - World’s Finest Wednesday (Audio Version)

Before he was the genius billionaire bald villain we all love to hate, Lex Luthor was just a red-headed teen with a science lab... and a serious Superboy obsession. This week on World’s Finest Wednesday, we go back to Adventure Comics Issue 271 — the 1960 Silver Age classic where Lex Luthor and Superboy start as best friends (yes, really), build science labs together, and then watch it all fall apart in the most petty, tragic way possible: Lex loses his hair and immediately vows eternal revenge.
