“There Is No Superboy”

In "There Is No Superboy," a 1965 DC classic, a magical potion grants young Seth extraordinary powers—mirroring those of Superboy—while a cursed scarab strips Neferti of her abilities, leading to a tragic entombment. Five millennia later, Lana’s accidental use of the scarab nearly proves fatal for Superboy. Written by Leo Dorfman and brought to life with Curt Swan’s iconic art and George Klein’s precise inks, this issue blends ancient magic with timeless heroism, all wrapped in a cover by Swan and Klein.
