The New Adventures of Superboy #46

Set against a Tokyo backdrop alive with chaos and explosive energy, this October 1983 issue of The New Adventures of Superboy pits the Boy of Steel against a boastful villain called Sunburst — whose fiery, crackling power has already left the Tokyo police helpless on the streets below. Gil Kane's cover captures Superboy reeling from a devastating energy blast while Sunburst taunts him with a declaration of invincibility, making the stakes feel genuinely urgent. Paul Kupperberg's "Land of the Rising Sunburst!" — brought to life by artist Alex Saviuk and inker Kurt Schaffenberger — looks like a sharp, globe-trotting adventure that takes Smallville's favorite son far from home.
