Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! Kent Shakespeare question

Yeah I was just wondering, what storylines in the Legion was he big in? I heard about the character sounds interesting, was just wondering what storylines he was big in, that might be TPB or some form, that I could read him in.

Kent only appeared after the Five Year Gap preboot, which was Legion of Super-Heroes volume four (1989 -1994). I believe his first appearance was around LSH v4 #12. He appeared sporadically up until LSH v4 #61, where the series was rebooted. Unfortunately, to my knowledge none of those issues have been collected in TPB form in 15 years (if at all).

I'm actually at a loss for stories that gave him a large role. I can name more arcs where he was absent. He had some good scenes in his first appearance fighting the Persuader in #12 and #13. He put in consistent appearances during the Quiet Darkness, LSH v4 #21-24. Kent had a fairly large part in LSH v4 #51 set on the Quarantine facility. After that adventure, he was deaged by Glorith and sidelined for the rest of the series.

Hopefully that will give you an idea of the timeframe of stories to look through. A great bibliography of Kent's appearances and background can be found here: Unofficial Kent Shakespeare Biography

Kent also appeared in Reboot as a Legion cadet in The Legion #25.

He also appeared as a journalist in the JLA Adventures issue featureing the Legion (#28? I forget).

He rarely got center stage, but was generally part of a team effort. In his 1st story, v.4 #12-13, he plays center stage in a fight vs the Persuader; Gim joins in along the way too.

v4#51 as Furture pointed out was another key appearance.
