Legion Of Super Heroes Archives HC Vol 011
228-page hardcover that marks an important chapter in the evolution of the Legion into one of comics' most enduring and fan-favorite super-teams. Volume 11 reprints the Legion stories from SUPERBOY #203-212 - and at the time these mid-1970s issues were published, the Legion had already become popular enough that their logo shared equal billing with Superboy's. Volume 11 features stories written by Cary Bates and E. Nelson Bridwell, plus comics work by a teenaged writer from Pittsburgh named Jim Shooter. Also, stepping into the very large artistic shoes of his predecessor Dave Cockrum, newcomer artist Mike Grell unveiled what would become his trademark brand of powerful graphic storytelling, giving the series a whole new excitement and vibrancy. Cockrum and Grell are joined by legendary artists Curt Swan, George Klein and Nick Cardy who also provide art in this volume. One of the first things to happen with the Legion in this archive? The heroic death of a Legionnaire! With this dramatic beginning, the Legion enters into one of its most memorable periods - featuring such stories as Massacre by Remote Control, The Legionnaire Nobody Remembered, Brainiac 5's Secret Weakness!, The Legion of Super-Executioners, Welcome Home, Daughter...Now Die!, The Rookie Who Betrayed the Legion, Lightning Lad's Day of Dread, Vengeance of the Super-Villains, The Legion of Substitute Heroes, and many more!
