This edition covers SUPERBOY (first series) #203-212 (c.1974-1975) with artwork by Mike Grell and scripts by Cary Bates, E. Nelson Bridwell and Jim Shooter. This book starts off with a bang with the death of a Legionnaire and follows up with appearances by the Legion of Super-Villians, Legion of Substitute Heroes, and the retirement of a Legionnaire. There are several fun back-up stories here, including the romance between Brainiac 5 and Supergirl and the story of how a normal fan got to be "Hero for a Day". Some stories are less interesting, but overall a worthwhile read for a Legion fan.

i love dave cockrum's art but mike grell was a good replacement. his run started with the death of the first invisible kid and lead into many character developing moments for the legion. also great to see returning villains the legion of super-villains, universo, the origin of karate kid and him staying with the costume that i feel best suits him. even the subs were able to show they are not to be ignored. a great collection among all the other legion archive series.

If you liked Mike Grell art, then you will difinitly engoy this valume, the stories might be short, but the art work make up for it.
