“We Can't Escape the Trap in Time!”

In "We Can't Escape the Trap in Time!", Superboy finds himself trapped in a time-warping nightmare alongside Karate Kid, Chameleon Boy, Saturn Girl, and Sun Boy, as the Time-Trapper sets his sights on erasing them from existence. Written by Jim Shooter and brought to life with dynamic art by Mike Grell—both inside and on the cover—this 1977 DC classic pits the young heroes against a foe who can manipulate time itself, all in a battle for their very futures.
