Happy Labor Day!
May your day be better than that of the Legion of Super-Heroes, who were laboring as a chain gang, as shown on this Jim Starlin cover for Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes #238 (April, 1978).
But, why were the Legion members in their 1960s costumes on this 1970s cover?
Well, this issue came about due to the dreaded deadline doom, and reprints
Adventure Comics #359 and
#360 (August and September, 1967), drawn by
Curt Swan and
George Klein, where the Legion was outlawed by Universo, a villain with a hypnotic power, who, after sneaking into the presidency under false pretenses, put the team in a particularly brutal prison. Of course, the villain's dastardly plan was foiled by Superboy and the kids from the future.
