Superboy #82

From 1960 comes this eye-catching DC ten-center featuring a genuinely unsettling sight: Superboy stands wide-eyed before a chalk-white, imperfect duplicate of his beloved superdog Krypto — a Krypto-Bizarro — who crashes through a stone wall with destructive force, speech balloon declaring its hatred for the real Superboy. Cover pencils by Curt Swan and inks by Stan Kaye give the scene a clean, dynamic energy that makes the threat feel both eerie and exciting. Billed as a "Great Three-Part Novel," The War Against Superboy! promises a story with real scope, and this opening chapter from writer Jerry Siegel sets the stakes immediately.
