"DC's Timber Wolf ran five issues. Of the whole Legion, I can't see Timber Wolf being the one to get a solo series. Maybe Ultra Boy, or Cosmic Boy, or even Bouncing Boy if a funny series was desired. I guess Wolverine-itis hit EVERYBODY sooner or…"
"From the pages of the Legion to the present! 15 issues is about the extent of a "short" series to me. At the time, I was a faithful reader of the Legion, but I just didn;t get into Karate Kid as a solo act. I got a few of these, but they didn't set…"
"JLA Year One was a 12 issue Maxi-series, but I'm sure JLA Year 2 was ready to be scheduled... it was DC's way."
"Archie Adventure series' Steel Sterling, Man of Steel, ran 7 issues. There was one issue, #3 from Red Circle, that was Shield Steel Sterling. What about issues 1 and 2? They seem to be Lancelot Strong the Shield. It's hard to track though, and I may…"

"Unearthly Spectaculars, starring Jack Q. Frost, only ran 3 issues."
"Spyman, 3 issues, was one of Harvey's attempts at action adventure comics, which I'll be showing over the next few days. Strangely, it was not listed as Top Secret Adventures."
"Here's Hanna-Barbera's other super hero comic, Hi Adventures. This was just two issues!"

Comments
Eric,
All I can say is "Aw, damn!" For weeks now, I've been meaning to state in a comment to one of my Deck Log articles how much I appreciate your unflagging support and your incisive commentary on my column. I kept putting it off because I never found the right place, or was too busy to add a comment, or any of the hundred of things we put off doing stuff we should.
Of all the members of this board, you were my most loyal reader, and compliment or criticism or just plain commentary, I always looked forward to seeing you post a comment. You're one of the Silver-Age experts who kept me on my toes.
So I shall miss your presence here, probably more than most. But it's your decision, friend. I don't stand in your shoes. Each of us has to determine what is right for himself and then act accordingly. I'd prefer you stay, but if you feel you have to go, then go with my blessing. And my regrets.
Godspeed,
Adam
