*DC: In the 1970s, the then-moribund Legion of Super-Heroes franchise was given a new lease of life, largely due to fan-turned-pro Dave Cockrum, who extensively redesigned most of the team’s costumes and gave a sleek and, for the first time, genuinely futuristic look to the team’s 30th Century milieu. Commencing with occasional Legion back-ups in the Superboy title, Cockrum’s revisualisation of the heroes and their setting proved so popular that with its 197th issue, Superboy was renamed Superboy & the Legion of Super-Heroes (still under ‘Superboy’ in our listings), and continued that way until the end of 1979, when the team kissed goodbye to the Boy of Steel and reclaimed the series as their own. Cockrum left after #202 to work on an obscure little series you won’t have heard of called the X-Men, but other artists maintained the series’ success. We have almost forty new issues, the majority not previously in stock, from #199 to the final, #258, highlights including the Wedding of Duo Damsel and Bouncing Boy, the death of Invisible Kid, the arrivals of Wildfire, Tyroc and Blok and the awesome Earthwar Saga. We’re prejudiced witnesses here, as you may infer from the name of our business, but nevertheless, we say it with pride: ‘Long Live the Legion!’
