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.
