Superboy #84

A colorful October 1960 gem from DC, this issue features cover art by Curt Swan and Stan Kaye depicting a helpless Superboy being compelled by a mysterious helmet-wearing figure — the Rainbow Raider — to carry bags of cash out of an armored car, while onlookers marvel that not even the Boy of Steel can resist the villain's strange powers. The rainbow beams washing over Superboy give the cover an eye-catching vibrancy that perfectly captures the imaginative, anything-goes spirit of Silver Age storytelling. Plus, the extra story teaming Superboy with William Tell makes this a double dose of adventure for a dime.
