Anything you can't find there just ask. Either Nightcrawler or myself can most likely post one for you.

So many great stories and memories in those covers...I wonder if the present team will be able to live up to that legacy...

If you look in the Encyclopedia Galactica, I'll be providing direct links to each of the different series. I've done all the searching for you. [Smile]

One thing that really annoys me about the GCD is that they're soooo slow to acknowledge that new issues exist (yeah, I can see that proper indexing would take time, but couldn't someone tick boxes saying "That exists", etc? As it stands, if someone's "dibbed" a series, nothing gets put in if they don't update that - and they only think Legion's up to 27 & is ongoing. I'd upload the covers for the rest if they'd update that much)

On the subject of Legion covers:

While rereading the SLSH #200s, I noticed that many of the covers were fake-outs. They would show a scene from the story, but it would be taken out of context or have a different word balloon to make it seem much more dramatic, or worse, than it actually was. For example, Superboy would be shown as a traitor, attacking the other legionnaires - but it would turn out to be just part of their plan, or he was attacking someone behind them, etc.

At some point, they just stopped using this approach and the covers were more tied to the actual story. Today, we have covers featuring characters which may or may not be part of the story - visually dramatic, but generally not revealing much about the actual tale.
