Legion fans must be in hog heaven! On Wednesday, one of the postings at The Source, DC Comics' official blog, was a message from DC Comics Executive Editor Dan DiDio informing readers that Paul Levitz is to become editor and writer of Adventure Comics, the current home of the Legion of Super-Heroes.
The text of DiDio's message:
You may have heard that Paul Levitz will be once again adding his considerable talent, drive and creativity to our ever expanding universe as a regular DC Comics writer.
So, what’s his first writing assignment?
Paul is returning to the title he made great as both a writer and editor, ADVENTURE COMICS, and with his eyes set to the future, he brings several of his favorite characters with him. ADVENTURE is the first in a number of projects, both ongoing and mini-series that Paul will be taking on as he joins of our list of top notch creators here at DC.
As Executive Editor, and as a fan, I can’t wait for him to get started. [END]
Until he stepped down recently, Levitz was the President and Publisher of DC Comics. Levitz wrote Legion stories for about three years in the mid-1970s, beginning with Superboy #225. Levitz returned to the Legion with Legion of Super-Heroes #281. He continued writing the Legion through their relaunch in 1984 with a new #1 issue and wrote that series until #63.
