A massive, fanged creature in a green hood has Superboy completely at its mercy on the cover of this July 1998 issue — hoisting the teen hero aloft by his jacket with a terrifying, iron grip while Superboy struggles desperately in its clutches. Tom Grummett's pencils and Karl Kesel's inks deliver a visceral sense of raw power and genuine peril, and the bold banner — "This Is the End of… The Last Boy on Earth!" — makes it clear that writer Karl Kesel isn't pulling any punches with this storyline. It's a gripping, kinetic cover that sets a seriously high-stakes tone.
