About the series
Set in the far-flung 30th century, this DC series followed the teenage Superboy as he teamed up with the futuristic teen heroes of the Legion, blending classic Superman lore with expansive sci-fi adventure. Running for 28 issues from 1977 to 1979, the title was a creative hub for writers like Paul Levitz and Gerry Conway, while artists Curt Swan, Joe Staton, and James Sherman defined the team's sleek, dynamic look. It stands as a key transitional era for the Legion, bridging their earlier Silver Age adventures with the more complex, character-driven stories that would define the team in the years to come.
