Description: Listing is NOT for all issues -- select and buy the one(s) you want. Don't buy one and think you are getting all -- I will not cancel/refund accidental purchases. I do combine shipping and offer discounts for multiple issues purchased. Just add the issues you want to your eBay cart and everything will be automatically calculated. The more you buy, the more you save! If you are an non-US buyer, combined shipping does not work automatically -- please contact me with the books you want and I can make the proper arrangements. Please see 'Seller Notes' for details on my collection. I have over 5,000 books from the 70s & 80s and am trying to figure out the best way to list them on eBay. Creating listings by title with issues as a variation seems to be the most efficient, plus allows me to automatically combine shipping and to offer discounts for multiple issues purchased. However, I lose the the option for buyers to make an offer. If there are specific books you would like to make an offer on, send me a message. Please check my eBay feedback to see what other buyers say about the condition of my books and be sure to check out my other listings for combined shipping discounts. Finally, while eBay is configured to not offer returns, if you feel a book has been misrepresented, I will work with you on it. Important note about shipping: I ship my comics in their sealed Mylar bag (no backing board) sandwiched between two 8.5" x 11" pieces of 1/8" corrugated cardboard placed in a 12" x 9" manila envelope. This should be adequate to protect the comics 99% of the time when shipped first class. You will have the choice to select either first class or economy/media mail shipping. Be advised that economy shipping is just like it sounds -- economy/3rd class and mail isn't treated all that well. Most of the time my packaging should withstand the abuse that 3rd class mail sees, but I can't be held responsible for damage caused by the post office in delivering the package as described. Choose first class shipping for more reliable handling and if you don't like my packing method, please contact me prior to purchase/payment to workout a different arrangement. Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes (1949-1979)Encouraged by the long-lasting popularity of Superman, DC decided to launch several follow-up titles. Titles such as Superman’s Girl Friend Lois Lane, and Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen concentrated on supporting cast, and Superboy went back into his own past, telling of Clark Kent’s adventures as a teenager. The stories here were lighthearted and often gimmicky. A Bizarro-Superboy, Super-Baby, Super-Dog, and even a Super-Monkey were concocted for this series. Superboy’s main problems, however, were balancing the need to save the world, protecting his secret identity, and fending off the romantic advances of Lana Lang and others. With issue #231, the title became known as Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes. With issue #259, Superboy faded from view, and the title’s name changed officially to The Legion of Super-Heroes.
