“The Secret Villain the World Never Knew”

Part of DC's Bicentennial celebration in 1976, Superboy #218 promises an intriguing mystery right on its cover — "The Secret Villain the World Never Knew." Mike Grell's cover art depicts a powerfully built hero stepping forward alone to confront a menacing, shadowy red-and-black figure, while several Legion of Super-Heroes members — including Superboy — are held back in the background. The determined declaration "Stay back! Your lives depend on me — I can take him alone!" makes this a compelling centerpiece for any Legion fan's collection.
