Unpacking the Shelf
Unpacking the Shelf is a podcast by Adam and Alex. It's our 100th episode, and in timely fashion (considering the recent news [https://www.comicsbeat.com/dc-next-level-expands-legion-of-super-heroes-teen-titans-and-doom-patrol-titles/]) it's time to talk about the Legion of Super-Heroes. We are delving into issues #259-289 and Annual #1 of vol. 2 [https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Legion_of_Super-Heroes_Vol_2] of the title, as well as Secrets of the Legion of Super-Heroes #1-3 [https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Secrets_of_the_Legion_of_Super-Heroes_Vol_1]. A rough time in Legion history, but one that included work by the likes of Gerry Conway, Jimmy Janes, Steve Ditko, Roy Thomas, as well as the beginnings of Paul Levitz & Keith Giffen's epic run on the title. Here are the links detailing comic sales in the early 1980s: one [https://rsmwriter.blogspot.com/2023/01/comics-sales-1981-1982.html?m=1], two [https://m.byrnerobotics.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34733&PN=0&TPN=1] & three [https://www.comicsbeat.com/the-unbeleivable-world-of-80s-comics-sales/].
