And Then I Read: LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES 8

This issue is split into two stories. In the lead one writer Paul Levitz focuses on activities off Earth; first a theft from a medi-center that could have bad consequences for the Legion, then the pursuit and capture of the theif. But were they in time? The art for this is by Steve Lightle, a Legion veteran whose work is not seen often these days, and he does a nice job here.

The second story takes place on Earth, where the three founding members: Saturn Girl, Lightning Lad and Cosmic Boy are out for some recreation on “Founders’ Night.” Paul has some fun with this, and gives Brainiac 5 the spoiler role as he must recruit Lightning Lad for a Legion task in the middle of things. This story is by series regular Yildray Cinar with Dan Green inking.

Here’s a page by Lightle. Steve still has it in my book.

Recommended.
