Superboy & the Legion of Super-Heroes #247
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Savage Sanctuary!", Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes face a bizarre threat when a masked villain uses marching penguin puppets to divert attention while stealing an ancient sword—only for the plan to unravel when Hostess Fruit Pies, planted by the police, steal the spotlight. Written by Len Wein and illustrated by Joe Staton, with inks by Jack Abel and colors by Glynis Wein, this 1979 adventure blends humor and suspense in a story that stands out for its quirky, offbeat charm. The cover, penciled by Joe Staton and inked by Dick Giordano, captures the absurdity of the moment with a classic, dynamic flair.
In "Savage Sanctuary!", Superboy, Colossal Boy, and Element Lad find themselves trapped on a planet where the Emerald Empress and her Fatal Five have seized control, using advanced technology to subjugate the native population. When Superboy disables the Emerald Empress’s emerald eye with Kryptonite, the enslaved citizens awaken to the truth—and the battle for the planet’s future erupts as the Legionnaires and the Fatal Five clash in a fight that tests not just strength, but the very idea of progress.
