CHEATERS ALWAYS PROSPER!

Bibbo is at his bar when a teleporter brings him his old friend Raof, an alien canine. Bibbo recounts his stories with Raof, Lobo, and Superman to the bar. However, Raof has come to warn Bibbo that other alien canines are chasing him. The alien canines, led by Skruffy, break into the bar. Bibbo challenges them to a game of poker. When the canines realize that they’re being swindled, they attack. But Lobo steps in to save his “favorite pet.” Lobo gets the canines to heel with a fire hydrant, then rounds them up to take them home. Bibbo is left to clean up, but happy to have another story to tell.

THE ALIENATION OF UNIFICATION

Legion of Super-Heroes members Apparition and Andromeda are taking three Legion recruits via Legion Cruiser: Brawler, Tomb, and Cannus. While en route, the Legion Cruiser is attacked by space pirates and boarded. The three recruits must help Andromeda fend off the pirates while Apparition repairs the cruiser. Andromeda and the recruits use “diplomacy and tact” and quite a lot of muscle to defeat the pirates.
