That Cold-Hearted Saturn Girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                           To think I almost had this issue.  I found it in the newsstand of the second floor of Port Authority in NYC, back in the Sixties.  I had to have been with my parents, at that time.  I did not have enough money to buy it, so that was that!

                                              But then I got "Adventure Comics, No. 345," featuring "The Execution Of Matter-Eater Lad."  In the Letters column were so many letters deriding DC for the story in the above issue.  And Saturn Girl was singled out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                               That Imra Ardeen!  What a bitch!  Just because she has blonde hair, one of the best costumes, and was the first femme founding member of the Legion, doesn't give her the power or right to run everything, as she thinks she does here.  And Dream Girl, who supposedly was romantically interested in Star Boy--how could she betray him?  Ditto Superboy, thinking he is so high and mighty, with his cape the only one flying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  He should have been demoted and whipped!

                                                    Then there was Brainiac 5, who was then the Legion's leader.  He should talk, being he was the one who created the villainous Computo, the computer, who almost wiped out the Earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And don't forget, Computo destroyed one of Triplicate Girl's three bodies, making her into Duo Damsel!!!!!!!!!!  So, where does Brainiac 5 get off being so high and mighty??????????

                                                       Those of us who grew up in this era, never forgot or forgave!  True, in future issues, justice would be restored, but I am telling you, people went wild when this story first appeared!  And I can understand why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                          As for Saturn Girl, shut your mouth, and get a mani and pedi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
