Superboy #162

Something strange is afoot in Smallville — the cover by Curt Swan and Murphy Anderson poses a genuinely puzzling scene: Krypto growls suspiciously at a costumed Superboy, while a ghostly, blue-tinted second Superboy strains against some kind of ethereal trap in the background, as Jonathan and Martha Kent look on in alarm. With dialogue bubbles already teasing a father-son identity crisis and a mysterious phantom duplicate, "The Super-Phantom of Smallville!" promises the kind of clever, imaginative puzzle that made DC's 1970 adventure comics so much fun.
