Superboy Vol 1 #140 – Superboy’s High-Stakes Gambles and Kryptonian Crisis!
Superboy Vol 1 #140 (July 1967), by Leo Dorfman with George Papp’s art, is an action-packed Silver Age issue with two stories. In “The Wizard of Odds!,” gangster and gambling mastermind Lucifer Chancel, aka The Gambler, sets up in Smallville, orchestrating high-stakes betting games based on Superboy’s heroic actions. With his gang—Blackie, Maxie, and The Professor—Chancel plots to destroy the Boy of Steel using Green Kryptonite and a Superboy Robot, but Superboy outwits their schemes, shutting down the gambling ring. In “Beware the Mad Dog of Steel!,” Superboy and Krypto discover a Kryptonian space capsule on the ocean floor containing germ vials. One vial breaks, infecting Krypto with Kryptonian rabies, which he passes to Superboy via a bite, threatening death within 24 hours. Superboy has Krypto break an antidote vial, curing them both, with Jor-El’s foresight revealed in flashbacks.

Great product! Highly recommend! Worth the money
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Our family absolutely loves Alba sunscreen! It’s light, not super greasy, and smells really good. Everytime I see it on sale, I buy more of it! My husband is a red head, and he has to wear sunscreen all the time, and he prefers Alba brand over any others. Great Product!

Like the sunscree - not the spray can
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Sunscreen itself did a great job with our snorkeling and scuba diving. Long lasting and didn't rub off in spots where masks and other things can leave spots unprotected. However, the spray can itself was difficult. Even when being sure it was completely in the unlocked position, it would take me two thumbs at full pressure to get it started spraying at times. Definitely, only a couple of us in the party were the appliers as we could get it started.

Love it! Eco-friendly and Easy-to-Use Spray
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I really like the Alba Botanicals Coconut Clear Spray! Not only does it give me a refreshing coconutty vibe, but it’s also biodegradable and cruelty-free, which is important to me. 🐰♻️
The spray-on application is a breeze, and I love how it doesn’t leave that annoying greasy feeling on my skin. It absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling soft and nourished. Perfect for those sunny beach days or any time I need a quick spritz of hydration.
I highly recommend this coconut clear spray to everyone who values eco-friendly choices and easy-to-use skincare products.

Great product, bad packaging
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I love this sunscreen! I use it on myself and my child and it works very well. However, the spray nozzle on one of the cans is locked and it will not work. I have tried to turn the lock, lift it up, etc., to no avail. This item is also not returnable. $20 for 1 can of sunscreen is quite expensive.

Great product
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Product is great with good coverage and ease of use. Much better than comparable products because it is very light feeling and doesn't leave a heavy or sticky residue on your skin. Perfect protection for anyone who burns easily or fair skinned.
However I paid for the extra rushed 3 day shipping and it was delayed and I wasn't reimbursed the extra shipping charges even though it arrived 6 days later.
