Indexer Notes
On page 12, during Colossal Boy's fight with Validus, the narration Validus "may kill his first Legionare!"
But Validus killed Invisible Kid (Lyle Norg) in Superboy #203. Evidently the writer meant to say "second", but it was changed in editing.

The Legion mounts a sneak attack on the ship and tricks Tharok into revealing where the control for the device causing the star to go nova is.
