Notes

This image is based on the back cover of 100-Page Super Spectacular DC-15 (Pencils and Inks: Nick Cardy). Part of the "A" symbol on Aquman's belt has been left on Superboy's costume, even though other elements have been drawn in. At the time this advertisement first appeared, Superboy was appearing in All Star Adventure Comic.
