Superboy #3

The cover of Superboy #3 (April 1994) announces "Infernal Combat!" in blazing letters, and the image fully delivers on that promise — Superboy in his signature S-shield gear clashes fiercely against a red-caped, masked antagonist wielding a high-tech weapon, all set against a hellish backdrop of lava, fire, and churning smoke. Tom Grummett's pencils and Karl Kesel's inks give the scene a kinetic, hard-hitting energy that pulls you right into the heat of the struggle. With Kesel and Grummett also handling the interior alongside inker Doug Hazlewood, this third issue of the 1994 series carries a confident creative team firing on all cylinders.
