As you may recall, we are now at the beginning of the Legion's run in Adventure Comics. However, their over-all sales strength still seems to be a question at DC, as they *still* are not getting all of the main cover appearances! For Adventure Comics #325 we get Lex Luthor, Superboy, and.... Supergirl?! For Adventure Comics #327 we get a homicidal Pa Kent, and just a vignette about future Legionnaire Timber Wolf (then called Lone Wolf). And of course we get Adventure Comics #322, which features The Legion of Super-Pets. When the Legionnaires DO appear, there is a definite trend to only feature two or three Legionnaires at a time. Oddly enough, at this time Saturn Girl and Element Lad are most often cover featured.
At this time all covers were being pencilled by the late, great Curt Swan. Inking was predominantly done by George Klein, with two by Sheldon Moldoff.
