Action Comics #392 Legion story page 2

My first exposure to the Legion was via the small Superboy and the Legion paperback published by Tempo Books in 1977. This was one of the stories reprinted, so I was delighted to be able to pickup a nice page in 2020.

This story from 1970 featured the first appearance of Saturn Girl's bikini costume designed by Kim Metzger, who would later go on to be a columnist and editor for Comics Buyers' Guide. This period was sort of a bridge between the classic 60's Legion stories and the modernized 70's version by Cockrum and Grell.

While Mortimer and Abel aren't fan favorites, I really like the layout and I've always been fond of Abel's high contrast inking style.
