I’ve never been much of a fan of DC’s Legion of Superheroes. I couldn’t begin to tell you why. I do enjoy DC’s black-and-white reprints of various older books. The Showcase Presents series gives the reader usually around 500 pages or so of old stories for a low price, and are a good way for the fan of Silver Age silliness to find the old stuff without breaking the bank. This was how I was able to write columns in this series on both Captain Carrot and the Unknown Soldier. But I have limits, and one of them is old Superman stories where Superman often saves the day using deception. The reader will think Superman is in a bind of some kind (never a physical one), only to discover he was aware of the problem the whole time and had already beaten it and was just waiting for the end of the story to tell everyone.
