Today in Comics History, April 22: Happy birthday, Larry Mahlstedt!

Born on this day: comics inker Larry Mahlstedt (Flash, Green Lantern, Spider-Man, New Warriors, but my favorite of all, The Legion of Super-Heroes!)


from Marvel Comics cover-dated November 1994

Can You spot Larry in the Legion of Super-Heroes Class of 2983 yearbook portrait? (Hint: he and other creators on the LSH book — Keith Giffen, Paul Levitz, Karen Berger — are pictured underneath the Roll Call!)
