Superboy #12/1980
In "Kantuu," Superboy faces a moral dilemma when alien tricksters deceive his friend Jo into believing he was adopted—only to trap the young hero on their world. Their planet's inhabitants depend on Superboy's Kryptonian biology to survive the deadly ambient radiation, leaving him caught between saving his friend and protecting an entire civilization. Written by Cary Bates and illustrated by Kurt Schaffenberger, with inks by Dave Hunt and colors by Jerry Serpe, this 1980 issue features a striking cover by Dick Giordano.
When Ballonboy and Duogirl accidentally free the ancient Flaschengeist Kantuu on their new home planet Wonlik IX, they soon realize the creature isn’t bound by the usual tales of three wishes—instead, driven by rage, Kantuu sets course for Earth. With Elementboy and Riesenboy unable to stop him, the fate of the planet now rests on the untested resolve of Blitzjunge and the mysterious power of the freed spirit.
In "Dieser Planet ist verdammt!", Superboy finds himself trapped on a mysterious world where alien inhabitants deceive his friend Willy Mason, claiming he was adopted, all to lure the young hero into a deadly trap. With his kryptonian physiology the only thing shielding the planet’s people from lethal radiation, Superboy must grapple with an impossible choice—stay and save them, or risk their deaths to return home.
