Nature Boy was a short-lived Charlton Comics superhero title in 1956 created by Jerry Siegel and drawn by John Buscema and others.
[edit] Origins
Nature Boy was really David Crandall. When he is lost at sea, he is saved from drowning by the gods who rule each of the elements, who imbed him with their powers: Neptune- water; Gusto- winds; Fura- fire; Eartha- earth; Allura- love; Azura- the skies; Electra- electricity; and Friga- the cold. Returned to his parents, he discovers he has been bestowed with the power to control nature, and grows up to become the heroic Nature Boy.
The title only runs a few issues: #3-5 in 1956 and 1957. In issue #3 (March, 1956), "Nature Man" appeared, who is supposed to be Nature Boy now grown up. In issue #5 (Feb, 1957), a "Nature Girl" appeared in her own story. A Nature Boy story was reprinted in AC Comics's Men of Mystery #41.
