Classic Comics- Episode 47- Silver Age Spotlight #6- Legion of Super-Heroes Part 1: Adventure Comics #247

Notes:   It’s the Silver Age again! It started out as a one-off Superboy story and turned into a long running exploration of the DC Universe 100 years in the future. The Legion are not known as well today as they were 30 years ago, but by the 1980’s they were a critical and commercial success at DC Comics. In this episode we take a look at the first appearance in the Superboy story that introduced the Legion of Super-Heroes and their origin from DC Super-Stars #17! Part 1 of a multi-episode look at this classic super team!     You can follow the show @ComicsLloyd on Twitter or send an email to [email protected].   You can find me on Twitter @MattB_Lloyd and at www.dccomicsnews.com where I write reviews and edit news stories.   You can also check out my chapter in “Politics in Gotham: The Batman Universe and Political Thought.” https://www.amazon.com/Politics-Gotham-Universe-Political-Thought/dp/3030057755 “Black Panther and Philosophy: What Can Wakanda Offer the World?” https://www.amazon.com/Black-Panther-Philosophy-Blackwell-Culture/dp/1119635845/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2F69N3WJBZMF3&keywords=what+can+wakanda&qid=1642053514&sprefix=what+can+wakanda%2Caps%2C256&sr=8-1   “Batman’s Villains and Villainesses: Multidisciplinary Perspectives On Arkham’s Souls” https://www.amazon.com/Batmans-Villains-Villainesses-Multidisciplinary-Perspectives-ebook/dp/B0C5SHX9BJ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=D49SBV4K1UQD&keywords=villains+and+villainess+arkham&qid=1695406720&sprefix=villains+and+villainesses+arkaham%2Caps%2C284&sr=8-1   I’ve also submitted my essay on Silver St. Cloud to be included in “Batman, Also Starring….”  Also look out for the forthcoming “Comics Lit.” series from members of the Comics in Motion family.   Adventure Comics #247   Otto Binder https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Binder   Al Plastino https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Plastino
