I started reading the Legion as a kid, starting probably with Adventure Comics #290, way back in 1961. Earlier stories were read later in Annuals, reprints, and even in the later Digests.
When you read these stories in the original format each is pretty self-contained. But when you read them several at a time in quick succession you notice things that don't quite add up. And I'm not even talking about costume changes and the fact that Saturn Girl went from having light brown hair to blonde. Some of this is attributable to the fact that continuity wasn't emphasized in those days, some to the fact that multiple writers created these stories (too many cooks and all that). But it's fun to look at them, and that's what I'll do in today's post.
