Item Description
By the time ADVENTURE COMICS #324 rolled around in 1964, it had pretty much become " THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES GUEST-STARRING SUPERBOY"! The focus on the vast cast of 30th century teens with wild but narrow powers attracted quite a following at the time, and SUPERBOY played something of a supporting role in the comic that had once been undeniably HIS!In issue #324, inside a nice cover by Curt Swan, a vengeful evil scientist named Marsden King tricks the five 'Heroes of Lallor' to use their unique super-abilities to destroy the Legion of Super-Heroes for denying them access to the Earth of the 30th Century. But while battling SUPERBOY and three of his co-Legionnaires they realize they had been misled and tricked by Marseden King and turn on him instead.
Edmund Hamilton handled the story and John Forte had his hands full pencilling this tale and keeping 10 different LEGIONNAIRES in line!
In the second story, Superboy appears on the radio quiz show "Unmask the Truth" as the panel (and the reader, in a clever mystery to solve) try to decide which of the contestants is the Real SUPERBOY based on their answers to questions . . including a few from Lana Lang! ( a 'Hall of Fame Classic' from SUPERBOY #57 in 1958!)
This is a terrific-looking copy of one of DC's best1964 sellers. It's in great shape for being 57 years old, with a strong binding, minimal toning, and no readily-visible faults or blemishes other than the tiniest missing piece at the bottom of the front cover that looks like insect munching! We grade it a solid 8.0 VF. Overstreet values it at $55 . . . but if you're a SUPERBOY lover, you'll love our price of $28 . . with our always-L•O•W shipping!
