DC Super Stars 17 Facsimile Edition 2020 #[nn] - back issue - $5.00

Cosmic Boy, Lightning Lad, and Saturn Girl relate to Superman one of their first cases as the Legion before he joined as Superboy involving the Quintile Crystal. After telling their tale, they meet up with the same Science Police officer who was involved alongside them in that case.

The Golden Age Batman retires from crimefighting after accidentally killing his wife Selina Kyle Wayne, the former Catwoman, when she is blackmailed into committing one more job by a former associate, Silky Chernak. As a result, Selina and Bruce's daughter, Helena, becomes the Huntress and vows to fight crime like her father did and brings Silky to justice.
