Torrent description

The Legion of Super-Heroes is a DC Comics superhero team created by writer Otto Binder and artist Al Plastino. The original Legion first appeared in Adventure Comics #247 (April 1958) and was the first super-team of the Silver Age of Comic Books.

The Legion\'s stories are set primarily in the 30th and 31st centuries (1000 years from the present), but have recurring connections via time travel with the present. In addition to superhero elements, the stories contain elements of science fiction and fantasy.

The Legion is known for its sizable roster, which includes several dozen major and minor characters. A common visual associated with the group is a tidal wave of colorful heroes utilizing the group\'s \"flight rings\".

Initially, the team was closely associated with the original Superboy and was first portrayed as a group of time travelers who frequently visited (or were visited by) the young hero destined to become Superman.

Superboy departed from the Legion due to a plot of a villain, and the book was renamed simply Legion of Super-Heroes with issue #259 (January 1980). These issues are referred to by fandom and collectors as \"v2\", or volume two. (There was a four-issue Legion of Super-Heroes series in 1972 and 1973 which is officially volume 1, or \"v1\", which consisted solely of reprints.

The Legion celebrated issue #300 (June 1983) by revisiting the Adult Legion story through a series of parallel world short stories illustrated by a number of popular Legion artists from previous years. This story also served to free up the continuity from slavishly following the previous Adult Legion diktat.

Giffen\'s style changed abruptly a few issues later to a darker and sketchier style inspired by Argentinian artist Jose Munoz. This occurred shortly before DC\'s launch of a pair of \"Baxter format\" comic books on higher-quality Baxter paper. The extant Legion series was renamed Tales of the Legion of Super-Heroes for a year before it began reprinting stories from the new Legion of Super-Heroes volume 3.

This torrent contains issues 259-313 of Legion of Super-Heroes v2.
