Casting a Command as a String

I have a list of (Combinatorica) graphs (e.g., X = {Cycle@4,CompleteGraph@3}), and want to automatically display each with the command as the display title.      

For instance, manually working the above list:

ShowGraph[Cycle@4, PlotLabel->?Cycle@4?];
ShowGraph[CompleteGraph@3,PlotLabel->?CompleteGraph@3?];

How do I automate this for an arbitrary list of (Combinatorica) graphs?  Although Scan[ShowGraph,X] displays the titleless graphs, I can?t figure out how to cast a command as a string (so that it can become a title).

Thanks.

Bruce
