The Subs battle through technical difficulties to say goodbye to two old friends, the first, a character in the Legion, as Invisible Kid meets his demise, and the second, as Superboy and the Legion cover artist, and comic book legend Nick Cardy, passed away while this episode was being recorded. RIP Nick.

Darren, Scott and Paul dig into Superboy and the Legion issue 202, to find out what happens when you’re Lost One Million Miles from Home and then to face The Wrath of the Devil Fish. It’s the end of the Cockrum run, and Mike Grell is just around the corner!
