Legion of Super-Heroes Archives, Volume 11 — DC Comics

Legion of Super-Heroes Archives, Volume 11 (DC Archive Editions). By the mid-1970s, owing to the successful efforts of its new creative teams, the Legion of Super-Heroes began to share equal billing with their iconic member, Superboy. The new, racier Legion's popularity skyrocketed, and to this day the Legion of Super-Heroes commands an enormously dedicated fan following. What do you do when you control one of comics' most popular title with one of the most loyal fan bases? Editor Murray Boltinoff saw no alternative: change the creative team and kill off a main character! Fresh from the Midwest, newcomer Mike Grell was given the seemingly thankless task of filling Dave Cockrum's artistic shoes for Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes, drawing one of comics' most intricate and popular super-teams. But Grell rose to the challenge, and he quickly began making a name for himself in the industry, bringing edge-of-your-seat storytelling to the Legion and creating one of the title's most memorable periods. As for the hero who dies a heroic death? For those of you who know, enjoy revisiting the moment. For those who are discovering the Legion of Super-Heroes for the first time, enjoy the ride!
