THE RED KRYPTONITE TOUR (Part 3 - 1963)

The last installment of this tour took us through all the red kryptonite stories through 1962.  1963 would be the year with the heaviest volume of red kryptonite-related tales, so in the third installment of this tour, we will cover that one year only.  


The numbering for each entry will pick up from the earlier entries from this Red K journey!   Enjoy!

THE INSECT QUEEN TOUR

In my infancy of becoming a comic book fan, I was hooked immediately on two things... The Legion of Super-Heroes and the Superman family of extended characters.  And one of the several commonalities where the two worlds intersected was with Insect Queen!  Superman's childhood gal pal and girlfriend, Lana Lang assumes the costumed persona of Insect Queen, a heroine who eventually becomes a member of the Legion's Reserve!

I thought it would be fun to travel through Lana's appearances as Insect Queen, and then take a quick glance at the legacy the character inspired years after her original debut.

Let's get strapped in and put this tour into drive!
