Superboy #32
In "The Silent Doom!", Superboy finds himself unexpectedly crowned king of Smallville after an old document reveals the town’s hidden royal past—prompting a quirky, town-wide effort to restore order while the young hero grapples with a crown he never asked for. Penciled and inked by John Sikela, the story unfolds with a mix of small-town charm and superheroic whimsy, all framed by Curt Swan’s iconic cover art with Sy Barry’s inks.
In a whimsical twist, Superboy is crowned king of Smallville when an ancient document reveals the town was once a kingdom—prompting a brief but regal reign until the mystery is sorted out. With the town's eccentric mayor and the scheming Richard Bayne adding to the chaos, Superboy must balance royal duties with his usual heroics.
