It’s getting harder because the earlier issues in nice shape don’t show up often and when they do they can fetch a high price. I have long though 311 and 312 were two of the toughest to get in high grade. They both have black covers and are really excellent books both;story and cover wise. I finally found a sweet 312 raw that I couldn’t pass up, here it is, resurrection of Lightning Lad: Congrats, that is a really sweet copy of a really tough book. The only copy I've been able to find that I was really happy with was the Toth copy. aardvark88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtherEric Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 My only noteworthy Legion issue in a while; this one is actually bronze age. But try to find it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtherEric Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 And a couple other additions to the collection this year; since there isn’t a current series I have to do what I can to get my Legion fix: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Knowing the kind of books Tim has, please post all of them! The biggest reason I collected Superboy to completion is that I was a Legion fan. I believe I have literally every LSH appearance through the 70’s EXCEPT Adv 247 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcity Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Although I am pretty much complete with LOSH up to Adventure 403 most of my books are raw. It is a long time since I posted Legion CGC books but I will join in by posting some unless they are already covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelcity Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 OK, I will start posting tomorrow. Just CGC books. I can even dig out a few Actions. But really looking forward to seeing Tiim’s 247 for the first time in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tth2 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) I'll start things off with Adventure 301. It's always struck me as odd that after the big splash announcing the Legion with #300, the title immediately proceeded to use a non-Legion cover. And a number of the early issues in the run continued to have non-Legion covers. Edited July 31, 2018 by tth2 TheWatcher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 And first Bouncing Boy! Seriously...Bouncing Boy! 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcity Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Thought I would start with an absolute favorite. Just about everyone who loves the Legion loves issue 369. From its ominous opening splash page the book weaves a tale about Mordru, an old Legion villain of untold power who we never actually met before. The sense of dread and foreboding builds wonderfully. This book always reminded me of Spectacular Spider-Man #2 with building fear similar to what Peter Parker felt waiting for the Goblin to strike. This story also puts some perspective on Smallville with the legionnaires in hiding back in the 1920s. Even has a few lighter moments. The final glorious finishing splash page does not disappoint. Adventure 369 also has a nice advert for Superman's 30th anniversary. Shown here is the Rocky Mountain copy. TheWatcher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcity Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 The Legion of Superheroes grew in the telling. From early appearances in Adventure Comics to wider appearances across other Superman Family titles and so relentlessly on to dominating Adventure Comics. After a time they were confidently promoted by DC. Although their first and second appearances were featured on the covers of Adventure Comics 247 and 267 their third appearance, late in June 1960 in Action Comics, was totally unheralded. This story links Supergirl with the Legion for the first time without a cover promotion. Some books that are not Legion can look so. Take Adventure Comics 242, just five issues before the first real appearance that has a Legion style to it. I remember in my early days of comic shows looking for a nice copy of Action 267. It was always a tough find. TheWatcher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
