Let those who toll out evil's knell, beware my power: The F-Sharp Bell!"

Gosh, Rokk sure seems eager to ruin Superman's marriage! Just because *he* can't hold onto a girl...

The "Unclothed Man of Might" actually has a pretty nice ring to it.

Oh, I bet that story was written by that Clark Kent fellow, too. He was always trying to get Lois to date him, so I bet he's just jealous over her marriage to Superman!

What does LL have against cucumbers? Surely there are very intelligent cucumber races in the 30th century.

The Legionnaires are just jealous because Superman jilted them for a girl. (Even Imra!)

Yes, and you know what a whisper-light thing she is to avoid just having her heels sink into the sand.

Originally posted by Quislet, Esq.: ![[Linked Image]](http://i381.photobucket.com/albums/oo254/Quislet_esq/Legionnaires/_Adventure_Comics5_-1.jpg) It's actually somewhat interesting that when reduced to babies, flashier Legionnaires Lightning Lad and Ultra Boy both become extremely needy, while "weaker" Legionnaires Shrinking Violet and Bouncing Boy seem determined to enjoy it.

I'm just surprised we have never seen the psychological repercussions the Legionnaires had from being turned into infants so many times. I think in the three showcases I have there are at least 3 baby Legionnaires instances (the above, the time trapper incident, and when the orphan legionnaires were turned into children).
Hee hee hee, baby Legionnaires are so funny...
Long Live the Legion!

"Mummy? Are you my mummy?" <span style="font-size: 10px;">/ Doctor Who reference.</span> Also: Originally posted by He Who Wanders:

Why did you remember it? Probably for the same reason I remembered it (even though I didn't remember the character's name): It was a good story that cast something familiar in a new light (pun not intended). I had never thought of how "Green Lantern" might be perceived by a sightless culture. (Sorry it took so long to reply.) Yeah, pretty much that. I just found the idea so unique that it just stuck out in my mind.

Two thoughts on the ACTION page:
1. It's a little known fact that Legionnaires were handsomely paid. Affording Sky-cars was one of the perks of the job.
2. Notice how Tinya doesn't invite Jo in to have dinner with her and her parents. She's not ready for Mom and Dad to meet "the bad boy."

1.) Win Mortimer's artwork is groovy.
2.) Condo sure seems intent on taking Tenzil home. Perhaps he and Lyle had a spat?

...Condo sure seems intent on taking Tenzil home. Perhaps he and Lyle had a spat? Why was poor Tenzil always the temporary rebound? Violet... Condo... I really feel for the guy.
