One of my favorite comic books was Adventure Comics of the Silver Age. It featured full-length stories of Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes.
The writing was top-notch (by a young Jim Shooter) and great artwork (generally Curt Swan and George Klein and later Swan and Jack Abel).
A little discussion on Adventure Comics no. 369 (cover date June 1968) is taking place at Facebook and I scanned a couple of pages. The cover (at top) was done by Neal Adams.
Here I am with Adams at Comikaze Expo in 2012:
The first is the "splash" page featuring a rare ink job by Curt Swan:
Then, there's page 7 of the story featuring the work of Swan and Abel:
A number of fans didn't care much for Abel's inks on Swan, but I thought they fit the Legion stories quite nicely.
