“Lana Lang and the Legion of Super-Heroes!”

★ 1st appearance — Thom Kallor★ 1st appearance — Star Boy

Adventure Comics #282 (March 1961) brings a delightfully tangled super-teen drama to the cover, where Lana Lang sits regally on a throne while Star-Boy presents her with jewels and Superboy stands nearby alongside a mysterious blonde girl from the future — the speech bubbles making it clear that Lana's royal treatment isn't quite producing the jealousy she hoped for. Cover pencils by Curt Swan and inks by Stan Kaye give the scene a clean, expressive charm that perfectly captures the Legion of Super-Heroes era's blend of sci-fi spectacle and soap-opera heart. And as a bonus, the issue also promises a full novel starring Aquaman and Aqualad — quite a lot of adventure for just ten cents.
