Description

I've had this cover for a long time. So glad I did not sell it like I have other art from way back. Nice cover featuring Superboy and his parents the Kents and the Phantom Zone projector. Jack uses white out and his brush to create a nice effect for the Phantom Zone ray, which actually looks better on the original art than it does on the printed cover.
From the DC Database Synopsis for Superboy: "The Superboy Who Wasn't"
Superboy is attacked by his parents, who are under Wallace's mental control, who, in turn, is under the mental control of Zan-Em, a Phantom Zone prisoner. Wallace sends Superboy to the Zone, where he learns that Zan-Em has been having the Kents secretly dose him with Phantom Zone projector rays, which cause his partial immateriality. Zan-Em attempts an escape from the Zone, but Superboy escapes in his stead. Once out, he convinces Wallace to exile himself to the Phantom Zone.
