The New Adventures of Superboy #22

A troubled Superboy rockets away from Earth on this October 1981 cover, surrounded by damning newspaper headlines — from the Smallville Sentinel, the Gotham Gazette, and the Daily Planet — each proclaiming a fresh disaster attributed to the Boy of Steel. His anguished expression and speech bubble make his despair unmistakable, as he clutches his cape and declares himself the world's greatest menace rather than its hero. Kurt Schaffenberger and Dave Hunt round out the cover with Krypto the Superdog, caped and loyal, featured in a bonus callout at the bottom — a nice reminder that even in his darkest moment, Superboy isn't entirely alone.
