*DC: Two landmark issues of Adventure Comics before the Legion of Super-Heroes began its regular feature with #300. In #282, Superboy encounters Star Boy, who was introduced as having all of Superboy’s powers and the newest member of the Legion. Obviously, the editors forgot about him for quite a while after the Legion feature was launched, because it was quite a while before he appeared again with a hasty explanation that his powers had worn off, just leaving him with his ability to make things super-heavy (evidently the Legion already had enough members with Superboy’s powers). In #293, we were treated to the debut of the Legion of Super-Pets, including the very first appearance of Comet the Super-Horse, joining Krypto, Streaky and Beppo. I’ll let you in on a little secret: this was the very first story featuring the Legion I ever read, when it was originally published in 1962.
