“The Exaggerated Death of Ultra Boy”

In "The Exaggerated Death of Ultra Boy," the Legion mourns the loss of one of their own with a solemn statue, unaware that Ultra Boy's apparent demise has set off a chain of events far from the truth. Meanwhile, an amnesiac Jo Nah, rescued by a rogue crew of space pirates, finds himself drawn into a dangerous raid that brings him head-to-head with the Legion he once called home. Written by Gerry Conway and illustrated with striking precision by Steve Ditko, this 1981 DC classic blends heartfelt remembrance with the quiet tension of a hidden identity, all wrapped in a cover by Rich Buckler and Bob Smith.
