American Update: Adventure Comics – with Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes (and Friends…)
*DC: One of DC’s longest-running and best-remembered series, Adventure Comics is now replenished with 20+ issues from #266 through to #495. At various times this starred not only the Boy of Steel, but also Aquaman, Green Arrow, Tales of the Bizarro World, the Legion of Super-Heroes, Supergirl, Zatanna and more. Highlights of the run include an Aquagirl prototype in #266, #267 with the second-ever appearance of the Legion of Super-Heroes as Superboy’s guests, #300 with the first of the Legion’s own ongoing series, and #403, a Giant issue reprinting the entire ‘Death of Lightning Lad’ saga, one of DC’s earliest ‘story arcs’, though they hadn’t coined the term then. What, you’re detecting a Legion bias here? Don’t look so surprised, bearing in mind the name of our business…
