“The Secret of the Crystal Curse!”

A fiery menace has come to Smallville — the cover by Ross Andru and Bob Smith shows Superboy grappling with the Glowman, a blazing humanoid figure whose flames engulf the struggling Boy of Steel high above the streets while panicked bystanders scatter below. The tagline promises that "someone is bound to get burned," making this 1982 issue feel genuinely tense even before you crack it open. As a bonus, the bottom of the cover spotlights two reader-created "Dial 'H' for Hero" champions — Mister Opposite and Miss Hourglass — adding an extra dash of fun to an already eye-catching package.
