Ol' Groove's Request Line: "The One-Shot Hero!" by Bates and Cockrum

Ol' Groove recently received a request from Groove-ophile (and former Incredible Hulk (among many other great comics) inker) Jim Sanders III, and Jim wished he could read Cary Bates and Dave Cockrum's "The One-Shot Hero!" from Superboy #195 (March 1973). Not only is Mr. Sanders a great artist, but he also has great taste! We don't just  get some suh-wheet early Dave Cockrum Legion of Super-Heroes art (dig that funky Colossal Boy costume), but we also get the debut (and we thought demise) of Erg-1, the dude we'd come to know as Wildfire, who'd become one of our all-time fave Legionnaires (he was the "hot" Legion character of the 70s/80s)! Check it out, Groove-ophiles!
