American Comics Update: The Midas Collection: Their Name Is Legion: 2nd appearance of the LSH in Adventure #267
*DC: From the Midas Collection, Adventure Comics #267 from 1959. Twenty issues after their first appearance in Adventure #247, the Legion returned in ‘Prisoner Of The Super-Heroes!’ At this stage, Lightning Boy had become Lightning Lad in the costume he became famous for, and Saturn Girl had adopted her familiar red outfit (although I note she was a mousey-haired individual inside, whereas she was her proper blonde colour on the cover.) She was however, firing bolts from her eyes that shattered rock. Cosmic Boy’s outfit was more purple than the ‘pale scarlet’ it would evolve into. The story seems like one of those that was dreamed up to fit the cover scene which I assume came first. Superbly crafted stories of Aquaman and Green Arrow as back-ups. This is a very decent pence-stamped copy without any significant defects, just very minor edge and corner wear; tight staples, virtually no creases. A very presentable example of this milestone issue.
