Superboy #77

The cover declares it boldly: "Superboy Fights Alone… as Death Lurks in Project Cadmus!" — and Tom Grummett and Karl Kesel deliver on that promise with a dynamic image of Superboy throwing himself into a brutal brawl against a mob of monstrous creatures, including a snarling green beast, a hulking purple figure clutching a golden shield, and more threatening forms pressing in from every side. Below the fray, a yellow-and-gold armored figure strides into the foreground while an ominous scene — a fallen person and a blood-stained wall — hints at the deadly stakes awaiting inside Cadmus. Writers Karl Kesel and Scott Beatty, with artists Grummett and Mark Bagley, bring a charged energy to this 2000 chapter of the Boy of Steel's solo adventures.
