Our first story features Superboy in "The World of the Super-Ape" by Frank Robbins, Bob Brown, and Murphy Anderson. Superboy visits Africa to help some officials investigate the mysterious disappearance of several poachers. Superboy disguises himself as a wounded gorilla. A group of other gorillas then carry Superboy to an underground cavern. Inside he discovers the missing poachers held capture by Yango, a super-powered talking gorilla. Superboy eventually deduces that Yango is Kryptonian. Yango speaks Kryptonian and possesses the same powers as Superboy.
Superboy travels back in time to witness Yango being sent to Earth by noted Kryptonian anthropologist An-Kal, just as he himself was sent as a child. Superboy then makes peace with Yango and takes the poachers away
The back-up is the Legion of Super-Heroes in "Brotherly Hate" by E. Nelson Bridwell and George Tuska. Lightning Lad, Light Lass, and Timber Wolf track down Lightning Lord, who has robbed the Inter-Planetary Bank. This story was reprinted in DC Special Series #19 (1979), Best of DC #33 (1983), Legion of Super-Heroes Archives Vol. 10 HC (2000), and Showcase Presents: Legion of Super-Heroes Vol. 4 TPB (2010).
