========================

Due to the Memorial Day holiday, LSH #82 won't be available in
comics stores until Thursday, May 30th.

Ron's upcoming SHOWCASE '96 story will feature Ultra Boy.  He
believes the story is scheduled for SHOWCASE '96 #10.  (ED - I
believe this was previously reported as #9.  Watch upcoming
issues of PREVIEWS to be certain.)

Tom will attend the Chicagocon in June.  Ron may also attend. 
Tom is bringing a copy of L* #38 with him to the con to collect
the depicted fans' signatures.

Both Tom and Ron autograph copies of the relevant Legion books in
their local comic shops.

Ron believes that Lee Moder signed a contract that will keep him 
on the book until LSH #100.  Ron's current contract continues
until LSH #87, but he plans to stick around until LSH #100.

Tom denies rumors of a Matter-Eater Lad mini-series.

Tom reports that no one seems to be complaining too much about
Shrinking Violet's election to Legion leader.

The creators have an ending in mind for the 20th century
storyline, but it is very flexible for changes right now.  Tom
indicates that it's always ben a story, not a stunt.

The Legion will be appearing in one of the regular Superman
titles during the 20th century storyline.  Tom wasn't certain of
the details yet.

LSH #82 features Insect Queen and the Uncanny Amazers.  The group
name was Tom Peyer's creation.

Ultra Boy's problems will be somewhat resolved in LSH #82.  Tom
adds that Ultra Boy will hopefully lay off the burritos by then.

Brainiac 5 is going to the 20th century with Cosmic Boy, Saturn
Girl, Spark, Gates, and Ultra Boy.  Tom jokes that he's out of
sight on the cover of LSH #85, calculating the mathematics of who
will win.
