Superboy #72

Part 3 of "The Evil Factory" arc, this March 2000 issue throws Superboy into a sprawling brawl, his fists flying as he battles a purple-clad villain on one side while a red-eyed stone creature looms ominously in the background. A gun-toting red-haired woman fights alongside the chaos, and the cover's teaser — "The West's Wildest Warrior Returns! But Whose Side Is She On?" — adds a layer of welcome intrigue to the already crowded melee. Karl Kesel and Tom Grummett, who share cover duties here, pack every inch of this energetic image with action.
