According to Paul Newell on comicbookresources.com:

quote:
According to the Legion Wiki, amongst other online sources, the "official" birthday of the Legion of Super-Heroes is February 27, 1958....The date the issue first appeared on newstands. The cover date is April 1958, of course, but issues back then would be out earlier to maximise their shelf life.

So happy 50th birthday to the Legion!
Indeed. Here's to 3050 more.

I can't say I was around for all fifty, but I was here for most of them!

You kids out there, go pick up a copy and continue the tradition.

LLL!

You know, I'm always surprised at what you can find out on the internets!

Time to read my reprint of that classic issue.

- Greetings to all Legion Fans on this *very special* day (I'm new!)

To commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Legion, I've been working on a "50 Years-50 Legionnaires" Sketchbook, featuring my own redesigns of classic Legion characters. I tried to incorporate their different looks, various costumes and character traits that they have had over the years...The collection is a work in progress, updated weekly - throughout this anniversary year...

I hope that you enjoy, and I appreciate any comments here and on my sketch blog! ^_^

Happy Anniversary, and...... Long Live the Legion!!!

Some nice designs, Josh! Can't wait to see the rest!

Wouldn't be great if we actually had a Legion with all those characters together?
