Welcome back fellow applicants to the Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes blog! We’re still in the “Starring” era but Jim Shooter is well on his way in writing his name in stone alongside Cary Bates as being one of the greatest contributors to the Tales of the LSH. But who are we kidding? His…

Superboy Starring the Legion of Super-Heroes #203
Well folks, we’ve finally said goodbye to Dave Cockrum. If you haven’t been reading along, then I suggest you start with our coverage of issue 200 to see the reasons for his departure. In any event, Comicdom would be in good hands, as his move to Marvel would mean…
