Superboy #1/1981

In a poignant twist of family and identity, Superboy—Clark Kent—faces a crisis when his adoptive parents, Martha and Jonathan Kent, begin to doubt his true nature after growing suspicious of his frequent absences. Torn between his dual life and the fear of losing them completely, Clark makes a desperate choice that forces him to confront the cost of secrecy. As the weight of his secret threatens to destroy everything he holds dear, the Kents are left reeling—struggling to reconcile the son they knew with the hero he has become.

When Superboy grows increasingly distracted in his heroic duties, his parents’ grief over his supposed death begins to unravel—yet Pete Ross soon realizes their sorrow is real. As Superboy contemplates leaving Earth, an alien space jewel disrupts the manipulations of the Phantom Zone dwellers, restoring the Kent family’s memories and rekindling hope.
