How to identify it
Adventure Comics #247, April 1958. The debut features the original three Legionnaires appearing to Superboy.
Common mistakes
Confusing it with later Adventure Comics issues where the Legion took over the title. The first appearance is specifically #247.
Grade considerations
A late-1950s book with a thin high-grade population. Centering, cover gloss, and tanning are the usual limiters.
