The Best of DC #66
In "Sun-Stroke!", Superman faces an unexpected trial at the hands of a future version of Superboy—Pete Ross, who’s swapped minds with the teenage hero using a pair of time- and mind-bending machines. Written by Paul Levitz and brought to life with dynamic art by Dick Dillin, inks by Dick Giordano, and vibrant colors by Jeanine Casey, the story unfolds with a twist that turns mentor and protégé into adversaries. The cover, by Dennis Jensen, captures the tension as Pete Ross, now in Superboy’s body, stands poised to deliver judgment—while back in Smallville, Krypto and the real Superboy fight to set things right.

Superman is surprised by an attack from Superboy -- actually Pete Ross who has used both a time-traveling machine and a mind-transfer machine to draw Superboy into the future and switch minds with him -- who puts Superman on trial before his own friends, accusing Superman of allowing his son Jon Ross to be taken by aliens. When the jury refuses to convict Superman, Pete prepares to execute him. But back in Smallville, Superboy, in Pete's body, has broken loose and summoned Krypto. Krypto attacks Pete and frees Superman, and Pete and Superboy are restored to their proper bodies.
