1203 - Karate Kid 12 - The "Time" of Your Death
Index Number – 1203 - 1.0
Issue – Karate Kid 12
Cover Date – January 1977
Title – The “Time” of Your Death
Characters – Chameleon Boy, Colossal Boy, Cosmic Boy, Karate Kid, Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl, Sun Boy
Villain – Major Disaster and the Lord of Time
Synopsis – The villains send Karate Kid to Smallville in the recent past where he mistakenly faces off against Superboy and the Legion
Writer – Bob Rozakis
Artist – Juan Ortiz / Bob McLeod
Cover – Rich Buckler / Jack Abel
Editor – Allen Milgrom
Comment – Fans have attempted to identify the time frame of the Legionnaires in this story by their costumes and their flight rings, placing this tale immediately after Adventure 329 (index number 1049). But the concept of “Chronicler’s Error” introduced into the Legion mythos by Paul Levitz tells us that flight rings were available to the Legionnaires from the start, therefore this story could be inserted almost anywhere in the early Legion chronology.
