American Update: Adventure Comics with Superboy & the Legion of Super-Heroes
*DC: A chunky batch of Adventure Comics fresh in from #311 to #378, spanning almost the entire run of the Legion’s strip in the comic that they took over from Superboy with issue #300. Our favourite DC team, of course, for which we’re named. These wonderful stories are so ingrained in our memories that we hardly need to see them to remember that these issues featured a wealth of Legion lore being established: the rebirth of Lightning Lad, the renegade Ultra Boy, Dev-Em, the debut of the Time Trapper, the Legion of Super Outlaws, Lex Luthor and the Legion, the Girl Legionnaires revolting (twice!), the Bizarro Legion, Timber Wolf, the Super Moby Dick of Space (!), the Weddings that Wrecked the Legion, the Tornado Twins and much, much more. Wonderful ‘retro’ sci-fi art by John Forte, superb craftsmanship by Curt Swan and generous helpings of Jim Mooney and Win Mortimer. If you’ve never tried the Legion, we’re sure you’ll fall in love with it!
