[Image description: The cover of the comic book shows a woman holding up a small green rock of kryptonite underneath Superboy who is flying above her. A ray from the kryptonite hits Superboy causing him to waiver and giving him a dazed expression on his face. A thought bubble above the woman reads "It's real kryptonite, all right! I'll test it on Clark Kent later-- and if it weakens him, too, I'll have proof of Superboy's secret identity!". In the background there is a line of people forming and a sign that says : "Today Dedication Ceremony, Superboy Guest Speaker".]
