Superboy #64

Curt Swan and Stan Kaye deliver a wonderfully dramatic cover for this 1958 DC issue, spotlighting a tense triangle between Superboy, a smirking red-haired girl, and a very defiant Krypto — who is shown gleefully destroying a statue of Superboy while the bewildered Boy of Steel looks on. The cover blurb promises "The Rebel Super-Dog!" and the dialogue makes the stakes delightfully clear: someone has convinced Krypto to switch loyalties, leaving Superboy questioning his own canine companion. Inside, Al Schwartz's script and John Sikela's art tackle "Superboy's Unknown Rival," making this a charming slice of Silver Age storytelling at its most imaginative.
