Dawnstar Love










Since the beginning, I have loved Dawnstar.
Not only did she have something that was
physically unique from other Legionnaires,
but she was a loner and hard-hearted,
which I could relate to.

She's so noble and beautiful, proud
and defiant, and though she has softened
some in recent times, I love her
complicated personality...and the always
crazy nature of her star-crossed love.

Tyroc Love








Screw the critics; I love the strength and
security of the character, as well
as the styling '70s inspired disco-pimp
outfit. Recognize!

(What in comics isn't over-the-top
and potentially cartoonish and offensive?!?)

Bronze Gods

Possibly my favorite era of the Legion, due to my age at the time,
the fun and wildness of the art, the dramatic changes, the
costume developments, etc.

After so many years as such staid characters
(despite fantastic stories and art,) this was a time
when everything seemed speeded up, amped up,
more alive.

It was certainly an aspect of why they
became my favorites!
