…Wrightson, Ann Nocenti and Chris Claremont are great heroes in my book. Heroes for hope. There are people alive today who wouldn’t be without their efforts. Thanks to everyone who helped, and everyone who wanted to but couldn’t because there wasn’t room. It was one of our finest hours. NEXT,…

…very much involved with their Spirituality for Kids program. But she hadn’t forgotten all about comics. She thought comic books would be a good vehicle for conveying Kabbalistic theosophy to young people, and she had an idea for a super hero group. Okay. I looked at her sketches and notes….
Back when I was a kid, in the letter columns of Adventure Comics featuring Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes there was a section entitled “Bits of Legionnaire Business.” Readers sent in ideas for new Legionnaires—names and short descriptions of their powers—and editor Mort Weisinger would publish the most interesting…

…All the World’s Aircraft. Extra groovy! The succinct, info-packed pages of those books reminded me of the Night Girl “dossier” that I’d failed to get into a Legion of Super-Heroes issue some six years earlier.

…The really, really annoying thing is that for more than a year, I’ve been referring people to posts that weren’t there anymore. You see, after a long hiatus, I’ve been appearing at conventions again during the last year or so. Last year was the 30th anniversary of Marvel Super-Heroes Secret…
…Supergirl would be put into Adventure, and presumably would hold the half million readers buying the title, while as a back-up, the Legion (which starred Superboy) would no longer “dilute” the sales of Superboy. And, it might shore up declining sales of Action. Meanwhile, I would be given Jimmy Olsen…
