Superboy #194 - reader copy - $4.00

Harkon, a renegade Atlantean scientist, transforms Superboy into a water-breathing merman, which also removes his super-powers.

Superboy discovers that he has new mental powers of telepathy and telekinesis. Unable to leave the sea, he contacts his parents telepathically to tell them he is safe.

Superboy returns to normal with the help of Harkon's niece Yorell, but he has no memory of his ordeal.
