Star Trek/Legion of Super-Heroes

Well, Legion came first...they should get top billing!
(But I'm not bitter!)

Okay I tried to get these straightened out by issue number,
but there were 6 issues and six-hundred variants, so...
here are all the covers I could find.

The art is awesome...that's all I care about!

Ty Templeton Sweetness!


Ty Templeton is definitely the man, and here he
is rocking the newsprint with an
incredible pin-up for the Legion of
Super-Villains for one of the follow-up "Who's Who?"
DC encyclopedia series.

Each character meticulously crafted and with an
entire history on their face!

Way to go, bro!

Aren't these drawings just awesome!

I was lucky enough to run across this
artist's work just this week, and
was so happy I did!

His name is Gene Gonzales, and he
has a phenomenal collection of
sketches he's done!
(And obviously, a deep love for
the teens from the future!)

Legion II Cover Faves

I loved Dawnstar, and seeing her get
a spotlight story was wonderful;
the art was perfect!
(Jurgens & Kesel)


Wildfire and--kinda-sorta--
the return of Lyle Norg.
Fave characters and great art!


Just a splendid piece by Kevin
Nowlan--his only published Legion work,
I believe.


Again, just ecstatic that Lournu and
Element Lad were getting cover exposure,
and I was young enough when it came out
that I was worried for Jan's fate!


One of the grooviest things ever: # 300's
artist jam cover!


Fantastic Perez cover of the team in
the past, surrounded!


Great Steve Lightle cover
showcasing Jan and Shvaughn.


Lightle does his magic again with a full team
cover, complete with humor!


Awesome Giffen cover of the team
on Orando.


Lightle brilliantly depicts the massive
LSH/LSV War while Projecta's rage
builds.


Kind of a downer to have the plot
point ruined on the cover, but still a
cool and dynamic layout!
I loved the "Jo Nah: Space Pirate" story!


A fave storyline showcasing 4 of my faves!
Plus family secrets and day-in-the-life stuff.


Wildfire, Tyroc, Shady...
all in an impressive Giordano cover.
(Shady's on the inside!)


Some fine Terry Shoemaker/Karl Kesel art,
cover and innards!


Superboy leaves;
who wouldn't be in tears?
Me! I was stoked for their
own title finally!


Perez does the Reflecto revelation right!


Fatal Five!
Trapped Legion!
Mystery member!
Good times!

The Archives
















These are beautiful, superbly crafted reprints,
and a great way to get all the old stories
so you can read them chronologically,
in one setting!

(Personally, I have a thing for newsprint and
the original format, 'warts' and all...but that's me!
Besides, cost for those can be quite
prohibitive, and it's hard to track down every
last one. But again--the adventure there is
part of the charm!)

If you look, you can generally find
a good deal on eBay or amazon, and
www.mycomicshop.com is a great,
reliable source for purchases, too.
