Scream TYROC!!


In Legion of Super-Heroes (v2) #265 Tyroc quits the Legion and is no longer part of the Silver/Bronze Age Legion continuity. This is an ignoble end to a character who started off badly, was treated badly by the men who should have looked after him, and who left the stage with a whimper rather than with a roar. This is especially ironic for poor Tyroc, as his power was his super-voice! 

Here then for your consideration is our LSB Memorial To Tyroc! Sound Off!!

Who Drew It Better? LSH 37 vs Superman 8

Often, on Hollywood (and other) Award Shows, some women show up wearing the same dress design, or men show up in the same type of tuxedo. When that happens, gossip reporters often dissect the fashion event by asking, "Who Wore It Better?"

Well, in the four-part Legion adventure "Past Imperfect," the Post-Crisis Superman came up against the Silver & Bronze Age Superboy and Legion. In the first issue crossed-over from the Legion title itself, the pertinent information from Legion (v3) #37 is repeated in Superman (v2) #8. So the Legion of Super-Bloggers is proud to present,

The Legion of Super-Bizarros!


In Adventure Comics #329 (Feb 1965) the greatest event in history of Legion of Stupid-Heroes not happens----the Legion ignores The Bizarro Legion! 

Bizarro Superboy am somehow not dead still in 30th Century. He leaves to Legion Club-house to quit. The Legion of course won't vote him in, so he comes near happy, vowing revenge. A few pages later he's on the Bizarro World Htrae, populated by just him and his son (?). Son appear always once and then on no pages forever. Bizarro Superboy uses Imperfect Duplicator Ray and creates best group in no time, Bizarro Legion!

Art Institute of Zwen: Fred Hembeck's Colossal Boy

The Legion makes two appearances in Abbott & Costello Meet The Bride of Hembeck by Fred Hembeck. One was just a sight-gag comparing the Legion to a buffalo stampede as "Fred" is trampled by "every cartoonist's worst nightmare: every member of the Legion of Super-Heroes....even Tyroc...!" 
The other reference is more important to the DC Super Star Holiday Special we reviewed last week. In this realm where ALL comic-book characters interact with each other, Colossal Boy tells Invisible Girl/Woman how he feels about being "outed" as Jewish....
