Talk:Legion Publication History/Series/Secret Origins

Re: v1/v2

Know nothing about this, but noticing Mgrabois' v2-->v1 change, if the series that Craigopher had listed as v2 is actually v1, IS there a v2? (Similarly, Gopher, what do/did you have down as v1?) - Reboot (SoM) talk page 01:47, 27 September 2006 (PDT)

• Secret Origins v1 #1 was published in 1961. There was only one issue of 80 pages, so it wasn't really a series. In 1998, DC released a replica edition of the same magazine. Overstreet lists another issue with it, but that had Even More Secret Origins on the cover and was really #8 of the Eighty Page Giant series.
• Secret Origins v2 #1 was published in 1973, and there were a total of seven issues in the series, of which the issue we're discussing is #6 published in 1974. This series used the same logo as the issue in 1961, but since it started with a new #1, you need the v2 to distinguish between them.
• Secret Origins v3 #1 was published in 1986. It was followed by another 49 issues through 1990. This series also had a few Annuals and a Special. It used a different logo than the other two series.

Given the various details involved, the version numbers can be debated. However, since there are three different #1's, to me it seems that my original numbering is correct. I really don't care what we call it, as its the only issue #6 that has anything to do with the Legion. There are Legion stories in the v3 series, but none of them are #6. --Gopher 05:15, 27 September 2006 (PDT)
