Seem to recall something from a review about issue 329...

That would make sense.
Nobody has it yet.

Nope. It is something alliterative.

Nope. This is something that appeared in Adventure Comics lettercol, prior to the "Tales of the Legion of Super-heroes!" becoming a regular feature.

Is it Bits O' Bizarro Business as the Legion replaced Bizarro in Adventure?

That would be it. In Bits o' Bizarro Business, readers would send in suggestions for "backwards" bits of Bizarro culture. So next question is yours, thoth! Here's a sample:

Should have thought of that. It even sounds familiar now. Good going Thoth and a good different sort of question EDE.

What's funny is that I've known for years that Bits o' Legionnaire Business began with a letter from a kid named Allen Pilcher (from Memphis) who wrote:
Dear Editor, Now that "Tales of the Legion of Super-Heroes" has taken the place of "Tales of the Bizarro World", will you encourage readers to send in "Bits of Legionnaire Business"?
but I never really caught the significance of that until I was looking at older issues recently and actually saw the "Bits of Bizarro Business" in the letter column and it suddenly clicked with me why Allen asked about such a column!

I needed Ede's hint on that one. I was on the wrong track. I am proud of my Cap's Hobby Hints answer though. Commissioner Banner has an arrested Karate Kid in his office on a moider charge! He's very happy about it. But why does he have to drop the charges?

Because the 30th Century is outside his jurisdiction?

Karate Kid wasn't born yet, so couldn't charge someone who didn't exist...?

Both good guesses, but no. This was something to do with the crime.

whee! sounds like a fun story. ok... Devlin O'Ryan's reflective power "killed" Firefist, when Firefist fired on him. (he got better). Veilmist should have been Devlin's wife, but what prevented that in the end?

Thoth has it I am sure. I do remember that she later tries to get Jo to kill Firefist so he could own him but Firefist loses it and shoots her instead.
