*DC: We continue our Legion of Super-Heroes event with 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. 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. A decent copy, with a strong unspoilt cover image and rich colour. There is some chipping along the right edge (but nothing too bad) and wear along the spine, although the staples are firm there (the centrefold is off at the top staple only). Below the bottom staple inside the cover two small pieces of tape reinforce the spine. Pages are an okay off-white to cream. All in all, a fairly presentable copy.
