In "The Skyscraper Superman!", Superboy recalls a mysterious ally from the past—Unknown Boy—who secretly aided the Legion of Super-Heroes. When the truth emerges, Superboy realizes the hero was none other than Supergirl, who, after being affected by a red kryptonite cloud, crafted the Unknown Boy persona to protect her identity. Written by Edmond Hamilton and illustrated by John Forte, with inks by Sheldon Moldoff and lettering by Vivian Berg and Milton Snapinn, this 1966 tale blends mystery and heroism. The cover by Curt Swan and George Klein captures the moment with classic flair.
