Superboy #96

Confetti rains down on a moment that's equal parts action and tenderness — Superboy leans in for a kiss with a platinum-haired young woman, the two of them literally handcuffed together, suggesting their romance is anything but straightforward. John Cassaday's cover art sells the charm of the "Off-the-Cuff Romance" tagline with real warmth, pairing the superhero's red-and-black costume against a swirl of bright streamers in a genuinely appealing composition. With Jimmy Palmiotti and Dan DiDio writing and Anthony Williams penciling the interior story "Meet the Neighbors!," this March 2002 issue promises a lighthearted but lively chapter in Superboy's ongoing adventures.
