steelcity Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Quick sidestep here to show more early Legion other than in Adventure Comics. Always nice to see an Action 276 on the wall at a show. Something a bit exotic about the early 1960s issues. Superman 149 is a true classic in its own right regardless of being the 9th Legion. A perfectly constructed tragedy with not a single panel going to waste. Copies of 149 often have discoloration of the white area by Superman's foot at the bottom right corner. I first read this imaginary tale in Superman Giant 193. TheWatcher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tth2 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Nice books. I've given up on finding a NM copy of Action 276. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 That’s a favorite cover of mine for Supergirl. Of course Ian has a spectacular copy! Here’s my beater 1950's war comics and TheWatcher 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelcity Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 If we step into a parallel universe there are books that look as if they might or they should have a Legion element. Adventure 260 would have been the follow up to Adventure 247 had the Kent's second super son been linked to the Legion. Of course Superboy's "brother" had visited only eighteen issues earlier and Mon-El had yet to show. Adventure 271 surely has a Legion bubble so are they around here somewhere?

Silver Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) IIRC that story in Adventure 271 is a classic Superboy / Luthor story that gets reprinted later. I haven't read it in awhile buts its a silver age classic. Regarding the 260 (beautiful copy Ian!) it cracks me up that it is considered the first SA Aquaman, therefore shooting up the price. The creative team is the same as the issue before and the issue after and it is the same character, but because his origin is in that issue (with new details of course, but every DC origin had new details...) it is the first SA Aquaman. Yes I am bitter because I still need that issue and now it is over priced (Notice I said over priced not expensive? ) Edited August 10, 2018 by Silver 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tth2 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I could have sworn that I had a copy of #315, but can't seem to find it. I know I definitely don't have a #316, so here's #317, which is the Pacific Coast copy. I made the scan ages ago and seem to have gone nuts experimenting with the settings. There are some brilliant colors and the PC copy is absolutely pristine, but it's not quite this psychedelic. TheWatcher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My raw copy is also bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
