Really? That's awesome man... I'm sure I probably have that in my collection, so I'll have to dig it out. You should autograph it for me :-D. 1 Reply [ Latest posted on February 2nd, 2007 6:09 PM ]

not sure i would want to autograph it. it was like my fourth or fifth job. it was awful.
although i remember like it was yesterday haunting the newsstands for it to come out. i think it was the first DC job i ever did which saw print. there was a World's Finest thing, with Green Arrow and Black Canary i think, which i lettered earlier but wasn't published till later on.
the legion story came out august of 77. i think that would mean it would have had a cover date of October, right?
if you really have it, i'd be happy to autograph it. let me know if you find it, and i'll send you my address. i apologize for how bad it looks. i had just turned 21, so i guess i can claim youth and stupidity as an excuse. |

I think it's the mythology of the Legion that keeps people reading (even if it's ever-changing, haha) and the HUGE cast of characters (so everyone has a Legionnaire to be their favorite). Plus, it was the very first superhero-team of the Silver age (pre-dating JLA, Teen Titans, etc).
I'm on the eastside of Columbus... it's pretty snowy today here, too. 1 Reply [ Latest posted on February 2nd, 2007 5:08 PM ]

maybe. i remember Curt Swan and George Klein's characterizations being very good; they seemed like intelligent and nice people to be around. subsequent art teams have not done as well, in my opinion.
one of the first jobs i ever did for DC was a Legion story, back in 1977. i think the story title was "The Plague That Would Not Die." |

no problem.
what is it about the LSH that continues to interest people? my sister and i read it when we were kids, when Shooter was writing it and Swan was drawing it, and a lot of those stories still hold up.
i think they've forgotten how to make comics for children.
we're under a near-blizzard today in Cincinnati. how about you? |
