One of my favourite Legionnaires, by the great Steve Lightle. So he basically put her in the Ms. Marvel costume that had been around since the 70s (debuted in Ms. Marvel 20 I think)  -M Who's the artist in that first image? Looks familiar, but I can't quite place it. As I've mentioned before, I much prefer Shadow Lass's Vampirella-swimsuit costume, though I can never seem to find a good image when I search for one online. Here's a decent one, though:  |

It's a variant cover by Terry Dodson.

They are here. <3 #282-#289 sorry for the incomplete-ish pics, I do not have a lens wide enough to capture an up close pic of a cover.    |

That's when I started collecting LSH in the early 1980s, #285 was the first issue I bought off the spinner rack.
I slightly prefer 1960s LSH (John Forte art! Computo! Bouncing Boy! The Super-Moby Dick of Space!) but the era from #285 to #330 (or so) is a close second.

I'm so jealous that I'm not reading these for the first time, but so glad for you that you will be.

I remember really liking that Wildfire spotlight issue. Plus, it's written by Roy Thomas!  |

After issue #289 comes Legion Annual #1. That may be the best single issue in the history of The Legion. Then comes "The Great Darkness Saga" which may be the best single arc in the history of The Legion.

It's a variant cover by Terry Dodson. -M Ah yes, I recognize the style, now that you tell me. I generally like their work, though it sometimes gets a little to "pretty" for my taste, in a sort of frilly, lightweight way. But this is a good one: they're the only artists I've seen besides Frank Cho that are able to make the lightning-bolt Ms. Marvel costume work. Like Cho, they should be given an all-female superhero team book to draw sometime. |

All this talk of the Legion has inspired me to dig out #285 to #300 to read over the next few weeks. I dig out an issue or a storyline here or there pretty regularly but I don't even remember the last time I went through and read the run as a whole.
I just finished #285 and it's pretty cool. Art by Pat Broderick and Bruce Patterson! Shadow Lass, Mon-El, Shrinking Violet, Star Boy, Colossal Boy! Cameos by Brainiac 5, Timber Wolf and Light Lass, Karate Kid and Princess Projectra.
And I'd completely forgotten about the backup with Dreamy and the Keith Giffen art. Not bad. Not bad at all. This might be why Dreamy is one of my favorites.

The Dream Girl/Star Boy pairing always struck me as a bit odd when I first started reading about them. Star Boy always seemed like too much of a straight laced, by the books, average Joe to be with someone like Dream Girl. I think the TMK issue that spotlighted Star Boy gave a really great exploration into his character and how his relationship with her would logically progress. |

The Legion was ok, but I always felt like with Superman Jr (Superboy) in there, with the whole Legion, they were practically unbeatable.
I love the linkage with Superboy & Supergirl, but more as guest stars.
Once Superboy left in # 259, Legion got more enjoyable for me, and then really kicked into high gear when Giffen came on.
It's hard to believe that the great 80's Levitz is the same writer that has given us the last version of the team.
It's killing me not having a Legion title. I'd truly love to see Morrison on this, but I highly doubt that it'll happen. Hickman or Brandon Graham would be great too, but little chance there either.

I love the linkage with Superboy & Supergirl, but more as guest stars. Even then, they still had Mon-el, Andromeda, Ultra Boy... Also, you must hate the Justice League (often featuring Superman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, at least 1 Green Lantern, at least 1 Flash, Captain Marvel, Power Girl, Zatanna, Captain Atom, Firestorm...) and Justice Society (often featuring Superman, Wonder Woman, Spectre, Doctor Fate, Green Lantern, T-bolt, Power Girl...). |
