Issue background colours
These relate to issue entries, e.g.:
|
Legionnaires #77 (published September 8, 1999; cover date November 1999)
- Endless Summer
- W: Roger Stern, Tom McCraw; P: Jeff Moy; I: W.C. Carani; C: Tom McCraw; L: Pat Brosseau; E: Mike McAvennie, Frank Berrios (Assistant Editor); "Adult Legionnaire" [Script Assistant]: Carmela Merlo
|
|
Superboy's Legion #1 (published February 21, 2001, cover date 2001)
- (untitled)
- W: Mark Farmer; P: Alan Davis; I: Mark Farmer; C: Richard and Tanya Horie; L: Pat Prentice; E: Mike McAvennie
- Notes: Part 1 of an Elseworlds story in which Superboy is R.J. Brande's son and one of the original three founders of the Legion
|
White, as in the Legionnaires #77 example, denotes a "normal" issue - i.e., an issue of a Legion title, or a significant guest appearance, which follows the era denoted by the year/etc header.
Other background colours, such as the grey behind Superboy's Legion #1, break down as follows:
Out-of-era comics
These are comics primarily featuring the "wrong" Legion for the era. Most of these are automatically Elseworlds (grey), but occasionally an attempt to do an "in-continuity" story with an earlier Legion occurs.

Where the issue reprints cameos, or contains original stories as well, the reprint colour is used as a border, rather than a solid background.
