SUPERBOY Stories

Six months after the last Legion story appeared in Action Comics, the group was back. In an eerie replay of history, the Legion started as an occasional back-up feature in Superboy, then a regular feature, then finally pushed Superboy out of his comic entirely. By mid-decade, Superboy was "the Legion comic" in the same way that Adventure had been.

The Legion even spawned its own spinoff comic in 1976, Karate Kid -- which lasted a little over a year.

Perhaps because the Legion itself had survived a brush with literary mortality, death was an ever-present factor in the stories of this period. Three Legionnaires met their doom: Invisible Kid (Lyle), Chemical King, and ERG-1 (who returned as Wildfire). The very titles of the stories were often death-oriented: "Trust Me or Kill Me," "Murder the Leader," "Timber Wolf - Dead Hero, Live Executioner," "The Silent Death," "Massacre by Remote Control," "The Legion of Super-Executioners," "Welcome Home Daughter -- Now Die," "Death Stroke at Dawn," "Trapped to Live -- Free to Die," "Stay Small or Die," "Charge of the Doomed Legionnaires," "This Legionnaire is Condemned," "Death of a Legend," "The City That Stopped Dead," "Hunt for a Hero-Killer," "Death Duel on Orando."

The best stories of this period included "War Between the Nights and the Days" in #193, "The One-Shot Hero" in #195, "Brainiac Five's Secret Weakness" in #204, "Soljer's Private War" (#210), "The Legion's Lost Home" (#211), "1+1=3" in #216, and #217's "Future Shock for Superboy."

Stories that are reprinted in graphic novels are indicated by appropriate cover images.

Mini-FAQs

Who's Listed? I try to list all appearances of Legionnaires and major characters. This includes images, visions, flashbacks, statues and statuettes, disembodied heads, and any other visual represenations of the characters.

Who's a Major Character? Ultimately, it's a judgement call. I try to include all continuing characters: Legionnaires, friends, family members, professional associates, villains, and assorted others. For one-shot characters, I try to include those whose names are given, or who otherwise play a major role in a story.

What About Non-Legion Stories? When Legionnaires make appearances in other comics, I only list the characters with a direct Legion connection. For example, if the Legion guest-stars with the Justice League, I don't list all the Justice Leaguers.

In What Order Do You List Characters? First, Legionnaires in alphabetical order. (This includes Subs, Honorary Legionnaires, Legion Reserve, and some special cases like Duplicate Boy). Seconds, friendly (or neutral) characters in alphabetical order. Third, bad guys in alphabetical order. Finally, statuettes go on their own line to preserve the aesthetics. Occasionally I will list all the members of a groups together, like the Fatal Five or the Heroes of Lallor.

In What Order Do You List Comics? Yeah, I know it doesn't always seem right. Chronological by month, then alphabetical by title -- but mainstream Legion titles always get listed first in the month. Aren't you glad you asked?
