The New Adventures of Superboy #17

In "To Fight the Unbeatable Foe," Superboy is challenged by classmate Carl Draper, who questions whether the hero truly understands danger after never facing a real threat. Inspired by the doubt, Superboy builds a nearly invincible robot to test his limits—equipping it with a failsafe he entrusts to his father. But when Kator witnesses the setup, he secretly meets with Carl Draper, setting an unseen plan in motion.

In "It's a Dog's Life!", Krypto goes to the vet with Martha Kent, only to find the veterinarian has been kidnapped by a gang of criminals who want to force him to dope a racehorse. With Ma Kent's help and his own clever instincts, Krypto must outwit the villains and protect the vet—while still dodging the dreaded needle.
