Lian RIP - Superboy #82, Harper Family Reunion

[perletwo]

OK, both in the requests thread and the Rise of Arsenal postings I'm seeing calls for Lian Harper Memorial Posts. So here's one of my favorites from Superboy #82 (2001), "Power Lunch," in which Roy and Lian meet their newfound cloned uncle Jim Harper, a.k.a. Guardian, for coffee and conversation.







In between each of these pages are scenes of Superboy fighting somebody called Negative G. Not to worry, though, Kon has it all under control.





That's Neg-G floating in the window behind them. The joke I guess being that Kon is fighting the good fight all around them and they don't notice?







5 pages plus preview panel of a 22 page story. I remember seeing this on s_d before, but a quick tiptoe through the tags makes me believe it's gone gone gone.

ETA: A request for those who've been following Guardian in the "World Without Superman" plotline. It's mentioned in Adventure Comics 8 that Guardian has interacted with Tellus of the Legion Espionage Squad, who calls him "Friend Harper." Can anyone point me in the direction of the issue/s where this occurred?

Tag suggestions - char: guardian/jim harper, char: lian harper, char: speedy/red arrow/roy harper, char: superboy/kon-el/conner kent, creator: jay faerber, creator: sunny lee (new tag), publisher: dc comics, title: superboy

that's a really cute superhero diner/restaurant they're eating in, what with the little green lantern at the table and the batman mug that's Roy's got. I'm trying to decide if Lian brought a superhero coloring book with her, or that's the restaurant's children's menu. :)

Hee, that's Warriors! There's a reason it's got so much green in the day-core.... :D

That's Warriors? I never thought it would be so... family friendly.
