“Superboy and the 5 Legion Traitors!”

In "Superboy and the 5 Legion Traitors!" from The Best of DC #64 (1985), Superboy teams up with the Legion of Super-Heroes on a time-traveling mission to uncover the origins of a mysterious artifact tied to a forgotten war between Earth and Krypton. Written by Edmond Hamilton and illustrated by John Forte, with inks by George Klein, colors by Karin Orlando, and letters by Milt Snapinn, the story splits the Legion into two groups—one sent to ancient Atlantis, the other to witness Kryptonians fleeing their world for Earth. The cover, by Paris Cullins and Bob Smith, captures the epic scale of the journey.
