Yeah, I'm glad that this is headlined again! It's a Legion World tradition!

Occupation: Renaissance Man ~ which means I do a little bit of everything, although I currently hold the title of Vice President/General Manager.
First started following the Legion: in the Adventure era ~ "The Civil War" issue # 333 was the first Legion comic I ever read (and owned. It was given to me by the older brother of a friend.) Adventure # 354 "The Adult Legionnaires" part one was the first Legion comic I ever bought and I continued buying ever Legion issue through the end of Adventure, into Action Comics, and then on into Superboy. (I even bought the entire run of Legion of Super Heroes v1 - all reprints!)
Continued buying until I went off to college (1977) then stopped because I was TOO old for comics (I did work up the courage to buy an occasional issue even after that and I use to sneak peeks at them at bookstores when I was SURE no one was looking! )
Saved them all these years and I would go back and re-read them whenever I was feeling nostalgic. The in the '90s I discovered how much my old comics were worth (through eBay) and that got me interested again. Since then I've completed my collection of all Adventure era appearances and have worked my way forward to the present day. I'm now proud to be a regular subscriber once again.
Favorite Legionnaires: Mon-El, Invisible Kid (Lyle), Chemical King, Element Lad, & Cosmic Boy (all in their preboot incarnations). I was also always a big fan of the Subs, Reserves, Honorary members & the Super Pets!.
Favorite Stories: Mordru's first appearance (two parter- Adventure 369 & 370); the Adult Legion (two parter - Adventure 354 & 355); the fight with Universo in "End of the Legion/Legion Chain Gang" (two parter- Adventure 359 & 360), The Dark Circle's first appearance (Adventure 367), the first appearance of the Legion Academy & the birth of the LSV (Adventure 371 & 372) are just some. I also loved the Magic Wars arc when I finally read it.
Other things you like: I love to read. I prefer Sci-Fi, Fantasy, & Mysteries as well as some historical novels, but will gladly read anything, if its interesting. Enjoy most styles of music although my favorites are all considered oldies today

Hi, Julio, nice to get to know you a bit better!
So, do you have Latin American ancestry? I just ask because of the name (and the Florida connection, you do seem to go there often).

Yes, I was born in Cuba (on the day Castro marched into Havana and took personal control of the government) but my family fled to the States when I was about 2 1/2 years old.
