Superboy #21

Superboy charges forward in full fighting stance on this energetic 1995 cover, his leather jacket and Superman insignia front and center as a diverse team of heroes and at least one green-skinned figure scramble into action around him. The banner announces "Future Tense Part One of Three," promising a multi-part adventure that pulls Superboy into what looks like a high-stakes team effort. Tom Grummett's pencils and Karl Kesel's inks give the ensemble a kinetic, propulsive energy that makes this a satisfying jumping-on point for the arc.
