These issues still for the most part contained three stories usually, a format that had been the standard for quite some time. With Marvel going in full swing by this time (1965) I have to believe that these books were getting a bit stale.

This is a neat cover as well and a pretty cool story concept.

I have always like the cover on this issue.

Superboy 116 How could Superboy abandon the human race if he is an alien from Krypton?

Superboy 115. For some reason I remember having a hard time finding 115-117 in decent shape. I have also seen this issue in the Atomic Testing Museum here in Nevada.

Superboy 114. Cool cover on this one

This issue has the redrawn story from Superboys cover story to issue 17

Bleh, Superbaby

Happy Fathers Days to,all you dads! Speaking of Dads, what in the world is Pa Kent up to now?

Superboy 110

First and only appearance of Bizarro Swifty (I don't make this stuff up people)

Superboy 108

Oh that red kryptonite, you never know what problems it's going to cause. I wish we had red kryptonite in real life, it would be fun to see what kind of stuff it would cause. Wait, that's what drugs do...never mind.

This one has a preset good story, pick up a copy and check it. It has everything going for it. The Superboy Revenge Squad, Pete Ross, kryptonite memorial pyramids, a great Curt Swan cover. I need a 9.4 of this issue.

You know, covers like that one show just how awesome Curt Swan was, it really is a great cover. The proposed lengerie shot would have just made it better.

DC had a thing for the word "boo-boo". There was even a story (iirc) in Superman that was riddled with boo-boos to see how many readers would catch. I think I've even seen them refer to them as "boners". My, how language use has changed!

If there is another comic ever printed with the word "Pater" on the cover, I've never seen it. And if by chance there is, it wasn't said by a kid named Reginald.

That has been brought up before

102 was the las of the box 12's. The 12 cent logo you see now will be on books for several years, this is significant in as pricing and pricing logos changed often after this point. The next significant identifier of age will be when the checker box logos come. 1963-4 were really great years for DC, many good stories came out of those years. I have always liked this Curt Swan Black Knight cover.

Regarding the last issue, I love thought balloons on animals Speaking of thought, the Thought Monster of Krypton was one of the more imaginative Kryptonian creatures. There could be a whole thread on the stuff DC introduced that made it from Krypton.

By this point in the run the issues from here on were some of the earliest I acquired in the 1980's when I decided to collect the Superman books. My mentality back then was to get long runs of consecutive issues usually starting at some round number. I never at that time expected to complete Superboy, but 100-up seemed doable.

Superboy 100! This is my second copy of this landmark issue, I upgraded from a mid grade copy. Although I like to stay away from CR/OW pages when possible, this was a really nice copy. It's got some great extra bonus features in it and yet another LSH appearance! I'm not aware of another DC anniversary issue packed with so many extras.

Superboy 99, the return of the Kryptonite kid!

Superboy 98. A real favorite of mine, I. Ought this copy at. SDCC back in the late 80's. I love the cover with Superboy and Ultra Boy looking at each other. This is Ultra Boys first appearance, another must have issue for any LSH fan. Dig Ultra Boys cool baseball uniform! Also, see the car in the background? Probably early 1930's vintage. This starting causing DC some continuity issues, if Superman was present day, when was his childhood? It floated basically. I guess today his childhood is the mid to late 1990's....he's a millennial!
