The shift in comic books in tone and audience and quality has been an immense one. 'The Great Darkness Saga' is one of the early great modern stories in superhero storytelling. The 'Darkness' arc itself is only six issues, but the issues collected in this deluxe edition are essential to getting the whole flavor of what the Legion of Super-Heroes was becoming.
