Apparently the editors of ADVENTURE COMICS #371 (AUG 1968) felt that the people of Thrann and a few of the Super-Companions should be white/anglo-saxons rather than their more colorful, racially diverse selves from SUPERBOY #101 (DEC 1962)! Blue Othar & orange Stormboy both turned pink! Greyish Shadowman bleached out! And what’s with aging brown-haired Liquidman into a dark haired fellow? I thought the 60’s were a time of enlightenment! It’s an outrage I tell you!

I guess enlightenment didn't kick in until the creative team started taking hard drugs, as evidenced by the stories in Archive volume 9....

Bah! The original colors were incorrect.
Besides, everyone knows Bobb Barker and Shadow were non-caucasian before their powers kicked in! Othar had to be changed so everyone wouldn't think he was from Talok VIII.

1. Where's the girls?!
2. How's the story end?
I'm dying of curiosity!
(What a strange, stiff, story.)
A singin' and a dancin'

It was actually a pretty decent story! I've been so displeased with re--reading the Conway era, that it was quite nice to go back and read this light little tale.
Candle,
I'll post a review of the story when I find a few spare moments (unless someone else beats me to it).
But no, there are no girls amongst the Companions.

I guess "Companion" was a euphemism for, well, you know.... 
Watching television is not an activity.
