Retro Goodness!

Bill Walko's excellent 1970's era/2970's era Legion

Focal Point

Once again, the masterful Mr. Ross pays tribute to the super-teens

circa 1977 and the Cockrum-Grell era costumes.

Let the fanboy panting commence.

With all the love of high-budget sci-fi movies
and the inherent greatness there is to draw on
from the Legion mythos, it has boggled my mind
that a live-action movie has not been made yet.

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 Kids Are All Right...sorta

"Pete Ross, Jimmy Olson, Lana Lang,

Rond Vidar, and Kid Psycho,

though you have risked life and limb, and eventually all

will suffer horrible fates,

we regrettably only kinda-sorta honor you.

But go check the Subs out!"

It's all right, gang.

I 'll always love you!

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!
