With this issue, the Legion switched from first-billing status in ''Adventure Comics'' to back-up stories in ''Action Comics''.

Background

With this issue, the Legion switched from first-billing status in Adventure Comics to back-up stories in Action Comics. For the transition, they began with a reprinted story, and perhaps fittingly, it was the one that kicked off the Legion's regular run in Adventure. During their year-and-a-half stay in Action, they would have one other reprint issue (#388), with all others presenting new story material.
