Adventure Comics #293
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe cover of this February 1962 issue sets up a genuinely unsettling scenario: Superboy recoils in midair, cape billowing, as his trusted Legion teammates Lightning Lad, Cosmic Boy, and Saturn Girl train deadly green Kryptonite rays from their rings directly at him — his anguished word balloon asking "Why?!" says it all. Curt Swan and George Klein deliver that image with crisp, expressive Silver Age elegance, making the betrayal feel all the more striking. As a bonus, the cover banner teases a second tale in which Lex Luthor becomes a Bizarro, giving readers two wild concepts for their twelve cents.
