Cool! Ebay is awesome! The best part is that a certain Faraway friend from England was about to out bid me and then saw my name and decided against it, since I am just a poor grad student with no money  . Thanks Darden!

No, seriously, congrats. I am slowly, over the course of a few decades, pickin' up the Legion stories. Only a few more decades, lol.
Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!
Something pithy!

That's great Cobie! Congrats!
And yes kudos to Faraway. It's really neat that you would do that.

See, what a great guy ! Thanks again Darden! I started hunting down old Legion stories on Ebay a few months ago, but have had to take it slow since we grad students should not be using our credit cards to go into debt buying Silver Age comic books.

Congrats Cobie. It's a gem of a story.
I have often thought that the basic plot of this story would make a great way to introduce the Legion into the Smallville TV series.

I think I like this one better than Mon-El's first appearance (since both are slightly similar and only about ten issues apart).
This is the issue (when I read it in the Archives) that made me really like Marla Latham!
And I always thought that Pete Ross and Ultra Boy should have stayed friends once the Silver Age ended (is that another Legion issue with Jo in Smallville?)

You've gotta wonder why Kal or Jo didn't use their super-breath to send a breeze through Lana's legs!

Another censored contender from Lana: "Silly boys-- If they'd only use their vision powers on ME, they'd see I'm not wearing UNDERWEAR today!"

Great purchase, Cobes! Nice of Faraway to sit this one out for you. Whatta guy! I just read this story for the first time the other day in the Archives and it was really fun. As Obadiah said, it would be a great way to introduce the Legion or just a singular Legionnaire in Smallville or any Superman-related series. Alas, the loss of Lana's thought balloons. But what I want to know is why Clark and Jo both go around randomly using their X-ray vision on other guys! The two of them sound shocked in their thought balloons to find any clothing on their victims at all, let alone uniforms! Perhaps this eludes to the real reason that poor Lana was ignored all these years by Clark!

It's a gem, all right.
i just picked one up myself this winter on ebay, albeit in a little rough shape.
The childhood friend Exnihil never had.

Congrats there. I got mine a few years ago with 3 other Superboy issues.
It's the pride of my collection since Ultra Boy is my fave.
Well done.
All HAIL to E-Bay!
And, of course, LONG LIVE THE LEGION!

I am jealous. Since Ultra Boy is my favorite Legion member! He's THE best everyday superman in all of comics!

Great issue.
I got one at a convention several years ago for a great price. Plus Curt Swan happened to be there, so I got it autographed.
Active LMB character is still Beast Boy.

Dev, now *that* is awesome! BTW, my next big purchase I have planned is to grab the Defenders run we've been PMing about. Although the way the job search is going, it might not be until mid to late summer
