I love Curt Swan!
The tidbits the writers, Robert Loren Fleming and Keith Ian Giffen, added to Aquaman's mythos in this mini were fantastic!
Have you ever wondered why Aquaman wears that orange and green suit? Well shit, wonder no longer, because it's all there. Here is a hint...he's representing!
It is a crying shame this has NOT been collected into a TPB yet. DC you better recognize!
Fun Fact: In this mini-series there is an essay by Mark Waid covering the origin of Aquaman from 1941. It also reprints the first appearance of Aquaman from More Fun #73.

Includes: Secrets of the Legion of Superheroes #1-3 and the Superboy and the Legion of Superheroes Collectors' Edition #55
This mini-series laid bare the Legion of Superheroes origins through the unraveling of a mystery, "Who is R.J. Brande's daddy?" This mini had a "didn't see it coming" conclusion!
Plus with DC mixing it up again with the Legion of Superheroes! It's time to release this mini-gem and the collectors edition as a TPB.
Clipped from www.legiononline.net : It was during the Legion's giant-size period that its most infamous publication was produced. Nicknamed "That Damned Tabloid" by Legion fans, All-New Collector's Edition C-55 featured the long-awaited wedding of Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl. In order to ensure that its fans were able to purchase a copy, DC placed a full-page ad in Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes # 237 for them to notice it, noting that it would go on sale "around the 1st of the year!" Of note is that SLSH # 237 took place after "That Damned Tabloid," and indeed showed Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl both leave the Legion and for their honeymoon in the same issue. Whether the tabloid was available on newsstands before "the 1st of the year" is debatable, but the likelihood is that the stories were read out of order by Legion fans.
