This page gathers the information pertaining to all issues ''Superman Family'' from the regular pages of the '''Legion Publication History'''.
 
 
During the Legion's early years, they sprang up sporadically across the entire Superman Family of titles that were edited by [[Mort Weisinger]]. While they eventually went on to have extended runs in ''Adventure Comics'', ''Action Comics'' and ''Superboy'' v1, they also made a significant number of appearances in other titles within the magazine "family". Generally these were cameos or extremely subordinate to the star of the particular comic.
 
 
 
This page gathers the information pertaining to all issues of ''Superman'', ''Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen'', ''Superman's Girlfriend, Lois Lane'' and ''Superman Family'' from the regular pages of the '''Legion Publication History'''. It does not include issues of ''Superman'' v2, ''Superboy'' v2, etc., as they were not part of Weisinger's original Superman Family lineup. Look for those appearances in [[Legion Publication History/Guest Appearances]].
