Superboy #100

DC pulls out all the stops for Superboy's extra-sized 100th issue, with a striking cover by Bill Sienkiewicz that captures the teen of steel standing in a confident, contemplative pose — his classic S-shield emblazoned on his chest, rendered in a painterly, almost translucent style that gives the image a haunting, elegiac quality perfectly matching the "Glory Fades" tagline. The muted, layered color palette and ghostly echoes of the logo in the background lend the milestone a reflective weight that feels genuinely earned after a hundred issues. With a creative team that includes writer Karl Kesel and artist Tom Grummett delivering "A Boy's Life!" inside, this 2002 landmark is a memorable chapter in Superboy's ongoing story.
