Other genres
As opposed to the other early appearance of the Legion of Super Heroes, this one is more like that of a crossover between genres. Lana Lang finds the first appearance of Star Boy and convinces him to help her to make Superboy jealous. In the process a number of staples of the romance genre are thrown in here (making this feel more like the 1950s Lois Lane comic at times.) Lana ends up essentially wasting a trip to the future just so that she can make her crush jealous? The result is disappointing, though I suppose in terms of the early appearances that things are getting a little better.
