==Introduction==
 +
One of the goals of the Legion Wiki is to provide a comprehensive chronicle of every Legion-related story. All major appearances will eventually be detailed, with minor or cameo appearances receiving less attention on summary pages. The Legion Publication History (LPH) is a both a quick reference index of all those appearances and an easy way to find links to all the corresponding issue pages in the wiki.
  
−
'''1950'''
+
The primary LPH pages are a chronological listing of issues as they were published. Separate pages have been created for information specific to individual series, with information collected from the regular LPH. Reprints and reference material get their sections, and several pages group issues of a particular theme (see the [[#Area-Specific_Pages|Area-Specific Pages section]]). The easiest way to navigate through the LPH is by using the Nav bar located at the top and bottom of each LPH page. Individual series pages are listed in the [[#Series_List|series list]], and relevant series pages are also linked at the bottom of most LPH pages. Eras are noted by colored headers as the chronology of issues proceeds, with background shading to denote out-of-era issues, reprints, and cameos (see [[Legion Publication History/Key|color key]]).

**''"title unknown"''  Plot unknown. (Later rewritten to become "''The Last Days of Superman!"'' in Superman #156, October, 1962)

Typical entries within the LPH list series title and issue number, story titles, issue credits, noteworthy events and a brief synopsis. Note that since the LPH is written from the [[Legion Wiki:Point of view|real world point of view]], issues are mostly ordered by actual publication date without regard to story chronology (the exception being that, when issues are published ''on the same date'', the order of issue entries may be influenced by story events).

Solicit image of the Legion of Super-Heroes: 1050 Years In the Future TPB, a collection of stories from across the Legion's histories.

Introduction

One of the goals of the Legion Wiki is to provide a comprehensive chronicle of every Legion-related story. All major appearances will eventually be detailed, with minor or cameo appearances receiving less attention on summary pages. The Legion Publication History (LPH) is a both a quick reference index of all those appearances and an easy way to find links to all the corresponding issue pages in the wiki.

The primary LPH pages are a chronological listing of issues as they were published. Separate pages have been created for information specific to individual series, with information collected from the regular LPH. Reprints and reference material get their sections, and several pages group issues of a particular theme (see the Area-Specific Pages section). The easiest way to navigate through the LPH is by using the Nav bar located at the top and bottom of each LPH page. Individual series pages are listed in the series list, and relevant series pages are also linked at the bottom of most LPH pages. Eras are noted by colored headers as the chronology of issues proceeds, with background shading to denote out-of-era issues, reprints, and cameos (see color key).

Typical entries within the LPH list series title and issue number, story titles, issue credits, noteworthy events and a brief synopsis. Note that since the LPH is written from the real world point of view, issues are mostly ordered by actual publication date without regard to story chronology (the exception being that, when issues are published on the same date, the order of issue entries may be influenced by story events).
