How much of a lag was that? Between Action and Superboy?

Action # 392 was cover-dated September 1970; Superboy # 172 was cover-dated March 1971 -- so there was a lag of six months.

Adv # 326. Revolt of the Girl Legionnaires.

It was really funny to see the girls dance each time they beat/kill one of the boys. I can imagine the funky sixties music in my head as I'm reading it. LOL.

Ok, I'm back to reading the pre-Shooter Legion stuff. (in the meantime I've read the entire Y-The Last Man run and a few other things)

The Shooter stuff certainly is the best. The stuff before is cute.

Speaking of cute...Superman Emergency Squad???

Anybody care to explain these guys? I remember from covers they appeared quite a few times (didn't Supergirl have her own as well?).

What in sam hill are all those tiny Superman?!?!

Kandorians.

There's also the Look-alike Squad (Vol-Don [Clark Kent], Sylvia [Lois Lane], Zol-Lar [Jimmy Olsen], Ti-Arra [Lana Lang], and Ar-Rone [Perry White, who was evil for a bit]). There's also Kandor's answer to Batman and Robin, the second (Clark and Jimmy were the first) Nightwing (Van-Zee) and Flamebird (Ak-Var)!

You can read about just some of their cool stories in SUPERMAN: THE BOTTLE CITY OF KANDOR TPB on sale last Wednesday (shameless plug, they should pay me for this stuff)!

I admit I don't know much about Kandor. (though I like Waid's version recently) Thanks NC.

Adv # 328. The Command Kid issue. The leading scientist for Preztor sure looks like Celebrand. It would be cool to connect to him to there since not much was ever revealed about Celebrand.

Glad to see Command Kid was just a nice kid at the end that got possessed. smile

Some of us questioned just how nice Command Kid really was in this thread .

I hadn't picked up on the Celebrand resemblance. It would be pretty cool if there was a connection there. I like to see the galaxy a little more tightly woven than it usually is i.e. every new character from a different planet.

I agree Fat Cramer. I'm actually keeping track of all the planets listed in the Adventure Comics I'm reading. Every issue they name drop 1 to 5 planets. smile It's adding up.

I would like to see a more cohesive Legion universe as well.

Just read the Dynamo Kid story. How can he NOT be the Time Trapper?! wink

Read the Computo story. Probably the best pre-Shooter story? Triplicate Girl's death though was a bit anti-climatic in the comic. It gets a great cover and it's a huge event. I guess looking back at it I expected atleast a bigger panel. wink

"It's Zero Hour for the Legionnaires..." I like this Zero Hour better. wink

Wierdo Legionnaire? Proty got me again! Should Proty join the Legion? Why not!

The Legion also visits the Batcave. Hmmm? Deja vu is going to happen soon.

B5: "It's an anti-matter force thing." heh.

I'd rank it is as third. Behind Super-Stalag and Trial of Star Boy.

I'd probably say those are my top three as well, but I'd add in 'The Mutiny of the Legionaires' as being just as good (top four). Hard to tell how I'd rank them in comparison to each other.
