Superboy #12/1980

In "Kantuu," Superboy faces a moral dilemma when alien tricksters deceive his friend Jo into believing he was adopted—only to trap the young hero on their world. Their planet's inhabitants depend on Superboy's Kryptonian biology to survive the deadly ambient radiation, leaving him caught between saving his friend and protecting an entire civilization. Written by Cary Bates and illustrated by Kurt Schaffenberger, with inks by Dave Hunt and colors by Jerry Serpe, this 1980 issue features a striking cover by Dick Giordano.
