The New Adventures of Superboy #16

A determined villain has unearthed what she claims is the secret of Superboy's power, and the cover by Kurt Schaffenberger and Dave Hunt makes the stakes feel immediate — the boy of steel recoils in alarm as a woman wielding a mysterious device declares she'll transfer his might to her son. The bottom banner teases a bonus feature, "Superboy Trains Clark Kent," illustrated by a pair of small figures showing both identities flexing side by side. It's a fun, energetic 1981 DC package with a genuinely clever hook that captures the imaginative spirit of Smallville storytelling at its best.
