Superboy #119

Two versions of Superboy face off on this March 1965 DC cover, each boasting a different set of powers — one with invulnerability, super-vision, and super-breath, the other with flying powers, super-strength, and super-hearing — while the bold question "WHO IS MIGHTIER?" hangs between them. The cover's split-panel design, rendered by Curt Swan and inked by George Klein, gives the standoff a clean, dramatic symmetry, with each Superboy declaring his intent to find and destroy his counterpart. Featuring the story "Superbaby's First Time-Adventure!" written by Edmond Hamilton with interior art by George Papp, this issue delivers the kind of imaginative, high-concept storytelling that made Silver Age DC so much fun.
