Superboy #171

A striking 1971 DC cover by Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson sets a tense underwater-meets-shoreline scene: Superboy stands tall in his classic costume while a dark-clad villain on the ridge behind him gloats over a figure in red — identified by the villain's speech bubble as Aquaboy — who appears battered and half-submerged in churning water. The story, "Dark Strangler of the Seas!," promises high-stakes aquatic adventure, and this cover makes the threat feel immediate and personal.
