Superboy #152

A striking Neal Adams cover anchors this December 1968 DC issue, showing Superboy pulling back a dark curtain to reveal a monstrous, green-skinned reflection of himself staring back — the boy of steel visibly shaken as he asks, "Is that me? Is that what I've really become--?" The story, "The 2 Faces of Superboy!," promises a compelling look at identity and inner struggle, with the split image of hero and creature making for one of the more unsettling covers of its era. With interior art by Bob Brown and inks by Mike Esposito, this is a sharp little package from a year when DC was quietly pushing its visual storytelling in bold new directions.
