Title

How A Nation Is Born: Your United Nations at Work

Description

Comic description: This comic tells the story of how the United Nations helped Indonesia gain their independence. Indonesia has a long history of being colonized by other countries. First the Portugal, then the Netherlands, and then Japan. The UN helped Indonesia to gain their independence on December 27, 1949. Dr. Soekarno became the first president of Indonesia and was admitted as the UN's 60th member nation. 

[Image description: The cover of the comic book shows a woman holding up a small green rock of kryptonite underneath Superboy who is flying above her. A ray from the kryptonite hits Superboy causing him to waiver and giving him a dazed expression on his face. A thought bubble above the woman reads "It's real kryptonite, all right! I'll test it on Clark Kent later-- and if it weakens him, too, I'll have proof of Superboy's secret identity!". In the background there is a line of people forming and a sign that says : "Today Dedication Ceremony, Superboy Guest Speaker".]
