1st appearance of the Legion of Super-Heroes; Curt Swan cover; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 9 (CBI)


Adventure Comics #247 is both the first appearance of the Legion of Super-Heroes and a launching pad for a massive roster of DC's favorite characters. "The Legion of Super-Heroes" begins with Cosmic Boy, Lightning Boy, and Saturn Girl traveling back to Smallville from the 30th Century, where they invite Superboy to join their futuristic super team. The running gag through the story was that Superboy was simply not super enough to join the Legion.

Of course, the big finish paid off with yet another venue for Superboy to have super adventures. The Legion returned several issues later for an encore and were adored by fans. The futuristic super team (and their backup Legion of Substitute Heroes) would go on to appear in issues of Action and Adventure , with Superboy eventually becoming an occasional supporting character. More recently, the Legion of Super-Heroes had their own book running through 2019 through 2021.
