Synopsis for Legion of Super-Heroes: "Colossal Boy's One Man War!"
With most of the Legion captured, the remaining members of the Legion of Super-Heroes hold a funeral for the deceased Triplicate Girl. However, when two of her copies show up alive and well, they realize that it was only a copy of her that was killed. The two survivors are rechristened Duo Damsel and the group begins thinking of a way to try and destroy Computo and it's army.
Their first attempt is to distract Computo with the "Weirdo Legionnaire" (really Proty II in disguise) while Colossal Boy smashes the robots holding the other Legion members captive. With their friends free (except Saturn Girl), the Legion manages to escape into the ancient Batcave to get a brief respite and try to find a new way to defeat Computo. Howver, Computo is able to track them there as well, and threatens to destroy Saturn Girl if they do not surrender.)
The Legion tries to save her with a duplicator ray which creature a Bizarro-Computo, however this turns out to be a dud and it is destroyed by Computo.
In a final effort to stop Computo, the Legion gets a brief assist by Bouncing Boy who uses a gas that briefly restores his powers. This give Brainiac 5 time enough to build an anti-mater weapon to destroy Computo and his robots, and the Legion rescues Saturn Girl.

Synopsis for Superboy: "Superboy's Moonlight Spell"
This story is reprinted from Superboy #65.
Superboy continues to experiment in his junior lab in the hopes of finding a cure for Green Kryptonite poisoning. His experiment malfunctions however and a mysterious gas blankets Superboy. The gas has lasting effects on the Boy of Steel and as the moon rises, he finds himself turning evil and terrorizing the town of Smallville.
Before long, the realization of what he has become takes hold of Superboy. He erects a powerful cage inside of his bedroom and asks his parents to keep him sealed up. Jonathan and Martha keep a block of Kryptonite close by to keep Superboy in check. By the following evening however, the effects of the gas wears away and Superboy returns to normal.
