I love that original Superboy logo, though; it's timeless to me. Great piece, as ever. I love that original Superboy logo, though; it’s timeless to me.

But the finished work of both the logos and story titles is clearly that of Ben Oda, who tended to do his own version of anything in the pencils anyway. The sign was also probably pencilled in by Cockrum and lettered by Oda. Cockrum may well have laid out those logos in his pencils, I hadn’t thought of that.

Somehow they feel very Cockrum-esque, especially given the intricate designs with numerous flourishes he created for the Legion members around this time. Of course, Cockrum and Oda may just have been of a similar mindset in their Legion work - certainly it was one of the most distinctive-looking series DC was publishing at the time. I wonder (just out of curiosity about how these things work) if the "Happy Birthday" banner in the last page was lettered by Cockrum or by Oda?
