After the Legion took over Superboy's own title, the solo Superboy feature itself was nearly moribund. For over three years, DC published no solo Superboy feature story. Then the strip was revived for a stand-alone story in "DC Super-Stars" #12 (1977). Several months later, the Superboy feature returned to a regular publication schedule when the strip returned to its second home. Superboy headlined "Adventure Comics" for issues #453-458 (1977-1978), and then moved to "The Superman Family", appearing in issues #191-198 (1978-1979). Finally, in late 1979, DC Comics gave Superboy his own comic again. The release of "The New Adventures of Superboy" #1 (January 1980) coincided with Superboy's (temporary) departure from the Legion in "The Legion of Super-Heroes" #259, as well as the one-shot "Superboy Spectacular" #1.
