“Doomsday for a Super-Phantom!”

The cover by Neal Adams and Dick Giordano delivers an unsettling scene: a stooped, struggling Superboy is confronted by a glowing ghostly figure — his own spirit form — rising above him, while two alarmed bystanders look on in horror. A speech balloon declares that the spirit and all of Superboy's super-powers belong to this phantom, setting up the eerie premise of "Doomsday for a Super-Phantom!" with real dramatic tension. With interior work from Leo Dorfman, Bob Brown, Murphy Anderson, and Ray Holloway, this 1971 issue is a fine example of DC's Bronze Age willingness to push its young hero into genuinely strange supernatural territory.
