“If Answers There Be...”

In "If Answers There Be...", Phantom Girl, Superboy, and Dawnstar stumble upon a comatose Ultra Boy caught between dimensions, setting off a mystery that unravels the truth behind the Reflecto identity and a shocking mind swap with Superboy. Written by Roy Thomas and Paul Levitz, with dynamic art by Jimmy Janes and inks by Bruce Patterson, this 1981 Legion of Super-Heroes classic sees the team confront the Time Trapper with the help of Ultra Boy and the Insect Queen—while the cover by Jim Aparo captures the moment with striking precision.
