Superboy and the Legion of Super Heroes 212 (1975)

Mike Grell (art) and Jim Shooter (story)

That was my second or third comic that I ever bought. It has its cover missing but I had always thought that Grell's art was great, but I had not noticed that Shooter was the writer. Wow.

Marvel Treasury Edition #1 (197?). I had almost a full run of these. Great for little kids...

BTW, maybe one of you could help me identify one of my earlier recollections from back then. It was a DC book with a Terra-Man backup story, where he meets a blue-skinned alien with a mohawk. I believe it was drawn by Gil Kane. Can't remember the title or issue #.

Don't recall much more than the basic character and his winged horse.
