Superboy Starring the Legion of Super-Heroes #213
We have our second consecutive issue where Jim Shooter does both stories. Is this goodbye to Cary Bates? Hard to say because he’s still getting mentioned in Super-Talk so I guess we’ll have to wait until next issue. But regardless I think we can state with confidence that Shooter is the main writer from now…

Superboy Starring the Legion of Super-Heroes #212
After two pretty intense outings, Jim Shooter returns to deliver two yarns in the ‘classic way;’ Last Fight for Legionnaire and Death Stroke for Dawn. But it isn’t without consequences because by the end of one story the Legion may change…forever! So put on your flight rings, make sure the light doesn’t mess with your…

Superboy Starring the Legion of Super-Heroes #208
I guess Murray Boltinoff and DC decided to take away the punch bowl. Because this time around we do not have a 100-page spectacular for sixty cents, but simply a “Superboy Giant” priced at fifty cents. I chalked this one up to the ongoing printing crunch and financials, which makes sense because those 100-pagers were…

Superboy Starring the Legion of Super-Heroes #206
Well, it looks like the paper crunch is taking its tole because we have our first twenty-five cent issue. A whole quarter! Plus we have two stories by Cary Bates and Mike Grell, with the first one being more or less a Superboy story. But why talk about talking about it, when we can talk…

Superboy Starring the Legion of Super-Heroes #205
And here we are folks, right on our second 100-page extravaganza of the series! We have a full new story, a bunch of reprints, and a really wonderful autobiography of Mike Grell. Plus there is some bit of fun in Super-Talk, including a letter from a future super-star artist. Let’s get to it!

Superboy Starring the Legion of Super-Heroes #204
We head deeper in the era of Mike Grell as he gives us his first two-story issue with Cary Bates. First we have The Legionnaire Nobody Remembered and Brainiac’s Secret Weakness. Which turns out is not so secret after all. To your stations fellow Legionnaires!
