I have reached Adventure Comics 373 and 374, Curt Swan has been gone for a few issues. I miss him dearly.  We are introduced to the Tornado Twins and Leland McCauley, too cool for school.

It may not be my most positive take on some Legion comics but they are Legion stories. Yippeee!

Starman saves his sister, who doesn't know who he is.  So of course she hits on him. Yikes! Oswin becomes regent and start inching toward the throne.  Adventure Comics 473 and 474 are two short but sweet chapters in Starman epic voyage.

Shade prepares Jack for his next battle, or at least tries to.  Ted battles spies and saboteurs but not a bear.  Robinson, Harris, and the rest of the creative team do a smashing good job with this issue Starman Volume 2 #10.  As it tells us the stage is set and the players are in place.

Ross is joined by Kirby to talk Fantastic Four by John Bryne Omnibus #1.  Only the 2nd FF run for Kirby, listen to find out what his first was. Ross is long time FF reader and this is one of his favorites. All that and some tangets, and Ross blatantly guess was going on behind the scenes at Marvel.  Is most likely way off.

Jack has returned to Opal City after his victory at the circus. He is riding high but that will change. The Shade is on the case and Nash has escaped. Starman Volume 2 Issue 9 by Robinson, Harris, and Von Grawbadger sets up the next act in Jack's journey. Adventure Comics Issue 68 is another Golden Age tale of heroes and gansters

Who is more capable to defeat the JSA, Per Degaton or Senator Joe McCarthy?  We get to see both in action. One in Justice Society of America #4 and the other in Adventure Comics 466.
