Superboy & the Legion of Super-Heroes #255
In "The Super-Spectacles Swipe!", Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes face their most mind-bending challenge yet when the villain Gorgli traps Tokyo in a phantom zone, forcing the team to journey back to Krypton for the only materials capable of stopping him. Written by Gerry Conway and illustrated by Joe Staton, with inks by Vince Colletta and colors by Gene D'Angelo, this 1979 adventure blends time-travel intrigue with classic Legion flair. The cover, a dynamic double-draw by Dick Giordano, captures the high-stakes urgency of the mission.
