I bought the whole series a long time ago out of the back issue bins and was SO disappointed that there were only a few new LSH stories in the run. It's nice to have them but what I wanted was the beginning of Dave Cockrum's run on the Legion. It was the Action issues that I had such a hard time finding. I loved those Legion backups. I'm saddened that comics so rarely use all those extra characters they have lying around to do backup stories anymore. I might not buy an issue of Wonder Woman as a regular thing but I'd definitely get it if there were a six or eight Light Lass story in the back of it.

Even better is that, unlike Marvel, DC kept their negatives and/or original stats, and anything they reprint from around 1960-up tends to look AS GOOD AS the originals-- if not better, because of the better paper. (See the recent JIMMY OLSEN ADVENTURES pair of books for a good example. I have almost all of the original comics of those-- and the reprints actually look WAY better!) The entire Dave Cockrum run managed to neatly fit into a single ARCHIVE volume. Wouldn't you know, THAT was the one that had severe printing problems? But DC manages to do "the right thing"-- and offered free exchanges for a corrected 2nd printing. I got mine!
