Reprint Comment(s):
- Story reprinted from Adventure Comics #247 (April 1958)
Comment(s):
- A number of Legionnaires were originally shown as background characters, though obviously not those we are familiar with. It is only through later stories and flashbacks that we can determine who may have been present during the first meeting with Superboy.
