Superboy #75

The milestone 75th issue of Superboy arrives in 2000 with a quietly arresting cover by penciler Tom Grummett and inker Karl Kesel: Superboy's signature black jacket — S-shield and all — draped solemnly over a wooden coffin surrounded by funeral flowers, promising that something significant has shifted for the clone of steel. The cover tagline heralds "a new chapter in the life of Superboy," and writer Karl Kesel and artist Tom Grummett seem poised to deliver exactly that with "My Greatest Adventure!" Whatever lies ahead, this image carries real emotional weight — a fitting way to mark both an ending and a beginning.
