American Comics Update: Their Name Is Legion: LSH #287-300 inc Great Darkness Saga
*DC: As a long-time LSH fan, (and I go back to Adventure Comics #293, which I read as it came out), I will always consider that the issues in Adventure Comics #300-380 are the greatest stories of these wonderful characters ever told. But if I had to pick a second favourite, it would be this run in their own title from #287 to #300, where Levitz and Giffen (with earlier issues in the run by other artists) were able to capture and convey both the epic scale that the futuristic universe demanded and also the detail of the very personal relationships between the Legionnaires, making this a standout series for DC in the early 1980s. This sequence includes both the Great Darkness Saga (vs Darkseid) in #290 to #294 and the giant-sized anniversary issue #300. I remember waiting anxiously for each issue to come out every month, feeling just like a kid again and relishing the excitement. Highly recommended; full details as always in our catalogue.
