This publication is also known as: Superboy (vol. 1) #222.

Superboy #222 is the first issue of this series that used the title Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes on the cover. This title would continue to be used until the end of the series, with issue #258. The "official" title of the series, as indicated by the internal indicia, would actually remain simply Superboy through issue #230.

Disregarding the official indicia, Superboy had already been sharing the title of this series with the Legion (as seen on cover) since issue #197, when the title logo began appearing as "Superboy starring the Legion of Super-Heroes."
