Issue Description

While some of the more powerful Legionnaires travel to space to search for Deregon and the Dark Circle, the three founding Legion of Super-Hero members, Saturn Girl, Lightning Lad and Cosmic Boy, learn that Deregon is actually on Earth. Knowing there isn't a lot of time to get Deregon, they go after him and find him, with a fight ensuing. In the confusion of battle, Deregon falls into a pit of chemical wastes and is trapped, a fitting irony since he killed Chemical King of the Legionnaires.

Volume Description

Superboy (Volume 1)  

 Starring: Clark Kent as Superboy.

Continued in: Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes

Superboy had been making appearances as the lead feature in Adventure Comics since early 1946, but he finally debuted in his own series in 1949. Any Superman fans who were unaware of the concept of the "adventures of Superman when he was a boy" may have been reassured by the fact that the man of steel himself introduced the series on the cover of the first issue. The Superboy series would feature work by the likes of France E. Heron and William Woolfolk and its success would last for over 30 years.
