Fleisher occasionally uses this phrasing to indicate that a story does not take place in the month and year indicated by the comic's cover and indicia. For example, on page 432 of the new reprint, "A text for February 1946 recounts the story of how, during Christmas 1945, Superman traveled around the globe, playing Santa Claus to the world's children (Act No. 93: "Christmas Around the World!")." In describing Superboy stories (and for that matter, Legion stories) I think it makes sense to avoid direct dating of the story. After all, Superboy stories would not logically take place concurrently with Superman stories.

However, I agree that the phrasing is awkward and will compromise by putting the date reference within the issue citation.--DrJohnnyDiablo, 5 Jan 2008, 2:08 CST.

I've never liked the Fleisher convention of stating ANY event took place in a month and year (rather than was told at a certain time)...Superman and the adult characters suffer from this as well. It's just a format that is used here, whether I like it or not. So, OK. Frankly Fleisher phrases everything in a ponderous, overly dense and often unclear manner...Actually, I hate copying TGSB word for word as well, I think it's a copyright violation and that the effort should be made to re-write. --MatterEaterLad 09:25, 5 January 2008 (EST)
