Gary, what about pointing the entry for Adv. #247 here? They have the full issue up for reading.

I remember reading about a prototype of the Legion years ago on the DCMBs, but remember people saying at the time that the story really wasn't much of a Legion analogue. I even went out and bought the issue in question (I believe) and agreed to that assessment. However, I can’t remember what issue that was. I’m thinking they were referring to the Intergalactic Patrol from ADVENTURE COMICS #260 (May 1959), but obviously its post-Legion.
So does anybody know what I’m talking about? Or what the answer is?

I've never heard of a Legion 'prototype' and I not sure which Supergirl ad you are referring to Gary. If I knew what the ad was maybe I can find it in my scans.

This one. It's the first image on the page (at present). I plan to change things around a bit after working on 1961's post. My image comes from SUPERGIRL ARCHIVES Vol. 1 which does not mention the source.
As for the prototype, EDE was the one who asked about it somewhere (I don't think it was the Legion forum, maybe the Archive one?) and got a pretty quick answer to which I then sought out for myself. But for the life of me I can't remember which issue it was. Argh!

I vaguely remember the topic in question, but I'm not recalling what the "prototype" was. For what it's worth, the "Intergalactic Patrol" story doesn't ring a bell, even after reviewing a synopsis of the issue.

Gary, the ad should have appeared in a multitude of DC comics for at least the month (maybe two) preceeding the appearance. Try a copy of Action #251 or Adventure #260. Not sure what issue of Superman was out the month before.

Unfortunately, I only have a reprint of ADVENTURE COMICS #260 and don't own ACTION COMICS #251 either.

I'll check my books when I get home. Do you want a cover shot or just verification of what issue it appeared in?

Its good to be right occasionally. The ad did appear in Action Comics #251, page 15 to be exact. It was the page right before the Congorilla back-up story.
And I've uploaded a good copy of the cover to the folder too.
