The New Adventures of Superboy #19

A charged cover by Kurt Schaffenberger and Dave Hunt sets the scene for this July 1981 installment of The New Adventures of Superboy: a furious Superboy lunges upward to confront a rifle-wielding figure while a downed man — apparently Jonathan Kent — pleads from the ground, urging the Boy of Steel to remember his oath and not take the law into his own hands. The cover teases that readers will be shocked to learn the identity of the mystery gunman, and with Cary Bates scripting "Zero Hour for the Kents!" alongside a bonus Superbaby story, this issue packs a lot into fifty cents.
