*DC: Our Legion of Super-Heroes running feature continues this week with three of the earliest adventures of the Legion in their own strip in Adventure Comics. These are in exceptional grades for their early 1960s vintage, and feature some of the stories that really formed the lore of the Legion, all spotlighting characters that are personal favourites. #301 reveals the origin of Bouncing Boy, #303 has the first appearance of Matter-Eater Lad and #306 debuts the Legion of Substitute Heroes: Polar Boy, Night Girl, Stone Boy, Fire Lad and Chlorophyll Kid, all Legion rejects who formed a back-up group and became fan favourites. All adorned with the superb artwork of John Forte, the first real architect of the 30th Century. Just a shame that DC chose to cover feature the Superboy story for each issue.
