No matter how many times I see that cover, it blows me away. You instantly want to know what's going on in the story. And there's such a mix of "this is where it all began" along with things being subtly wrong for how we later know the characters. One of the rare books where a book is key for the contents and a genuine classic cover on its own terms. And both of those copies are a lot nicer than mine!

If you are tuned in to this you will have a personal selection of Legion tales that will be yours for life.

jmg3637 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I am not sure how many of these stories I actually read. my collecting began much later. I believe my first issue was Starfinger and I had to wait a full month and crosscountry vacation trip after 6th grade my original run went from 335 to 386 a few issues after Supergirl took over the comic coupled with the increase from 12 to 15 cents. This was the first series that I tried and succeeded in getting virtually every issue in the run. btw the issues with the green dot is a system I came up with to ID my original comics when I got back into collecting in the late 80s OtherEric and hchill25 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg3637 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 There must be a thread for NON LSH Silver Age Adventures. Until I find it Ill just post LSH here I thought that they took over the series at 300 even if they were not on the cover for a few of those issues hchill25 and OtherEric 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as non Legion Adventures are concerned I don’t think anyone will mind if you want to post your copies here. ttfitz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 210 was one of the few DC keys from the silver age that eluded me. Missed a good shot at one and still regret it.

jmg3637 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Nobody even commented on the Death of lightning lad issue. The legion seemed much more real than other series because they actually had characters die and for the most part REMAIN dead hchill25 and OtherEric 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmg3637 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Long Live the Legion I gave up new comics at the start of the pandemic. I think the then current incarnation had also completed its run, Did it ever restart again? hchill25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The run that started around then ran 12 issues, had a 2 issue "Future State" tie-in, then was gone for about 8 months before coming back just now with a JLA vs. LSH series, the 2nd of 6 issues shipped this week. One of these years I keep meaning to just re-read the entire LSH series from Adventure 247 to now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My local comic shop manager has a thing each August called the 100 Back Issues a Week Challenge, where, you guessed it, you have to read 100 back issues each week for 5 weeks. In 2020 I decided to devote part of it to the Legion, and read the complete Adventure Comics run (as well as the assorted early "appearances" in other titles), the issues of Action Comics where it moved for a short period, and then the first half dozen Superboy issues. Highly recommended for a Legion fan - that Shooter run at the end of Adventure was classic. tth2 and OtherEric 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I discovered the Cockrum run first and then worked my way backward. ttfitz and OtherEric 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are probably pretty similar in age - my first encounter with the Legion was an old copy of Superboy #147, and I got into the book when they took over the title in the 190s. Picked up the odd issue from the Shooter era along the way as a kid - I think I had the middle issue of the Starfinger story, took me a while to figure THAT one out.

Popular Post Silver Posted June 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 12, 2022 A big upgrade for me from my raw copy I’ve had for years.
