Nova arrives to find the Skrull fleet invading Earth
Also moving from More Fun Comics in this issue were the Aquaman and Green Arrow features. They were among the few superheroes to remain in print from the 1940s to the '60s. Aquaman later became one of the core members of the Super Friends animated adaptation and entered the larger pop culture.
The issue's known creators: Don Cameron, Joe Shuster, Mort Meskin, Joe Samachson, Louis Cazeneuve, Maurice Del Bourgo, and Chuck Winter
While credited to Jerry Siegel, Don Cameron became the actual writer for the Superboy feature.
Siegel was never notified about all this and DC's failure to get his consent led to protracted legal battles around copyright ownership, which inspired the start of a movement around creator rights.
I just noticed that the cover image file sizes on Marvel's website have all apparently been shrunk down, so the last two days' worth of posts of the Claremont X-Men read-through have annoyingly small cover images. Today and going forward, they should be higher quality again.

The Superboy feature moves into its new home, where it will remain for some 300 issues. A Superboy solo series begins in 1949 as the character becomes the 2nd best-selling superhero.
Superboy was pitched by Superman co-creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster but was rejected twice by DC until other kid heroes began to take off. In 1944, while Siegel was serving in the military during World War II, DC used his script to publish Superboy's first appearance in More Fun Comics #101.
