"I found a site that includes many of the Adventure Comics letter columns--it's called Days of Adventure, run by a guy named Booksteve, who reproduced the covers of apparently the entire run of A.C. and included some notes about each issue; its…"
"I found a slightly different answer to question number 2 (about who belonged to the Legion Espionage Squad). The Commander listed Invisible Kid, Shrinking Violet, Phantom Girl, and Saturn Girl; in Adventure 363's letter…"
"I should have asked this before, but is it considered dirty pool to look up the stories? I would have tried to answer the all the questions off the top of my head, but I didn't do so well."
"6) Excellent catch by those who thought of Sunboy: in Adventure #302, Cosmic Boy, putative leader,addresses Sun Boy as "Dirk Morgna" one panel before CB tells him that he must be expelled; it happens on page 5 of the story in 302, and on…"

I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on ( mrs.katekwame5@gmail.com ) for the full details.
Have a nice day
Thanks God bless.
Kate Kwame.
