80. The awesome flight perspective easily overcomes the more cloying aspects of the scene. Like the cheesy mugging and the butter yellow background.


Lash, this is fun!

tough one.

much prefer the story in 25. i think cover #80 could almost work as the cover for issue #25.


#80!!! it's alan davis. and possibly one of the best LSH covers of all time.

That ain't an easy choice!

I remember having to drive to multiple stores to find #25-- and being beyond excited to see the young Legionnaires in those costumes.

The Alan Davis is a great cover that really does encapsulate what was right about that era's LSH. I love seeing that many smiling faces in one image- so unusual for comics, or any art form these days.

But I'm going to pick #25 for four reasons-- Invisible Kid, Ferro Lad, Phantom Girl (whose image here I love) and Sun Boy. All characters dead by that point in LSH history. What a great thing it was to see them walking around, interacting and using their powers in that story and the ones that followed!

I often wonder what folks would've said about this issue and the ones around it had there been a 'Legion World' back then to use to communicate.

I'm sure we would have been discussing the nudity heavily... [Wink]

BTW, the next 2 covers for face-off have been chosen, and I suspect they will be difficult as well...

We'll leave this one running through... I guess 'til I go to bed tomorrow night! Then I'll do a final tally and start the next one.

CURRENT TALLY

TIE 7 votes each.

This really is a tough one. I remember the rush I felt when I first saw #25 ("They're back! Yes!"). The thing I don't like now about #80 is that it is pretty generic.

Still, for pure dynamic energy and optimism I vote for #80.

25. The detail and the variety of positions are far superior to 80. Yes, 80 is Alan Davis, but it just seems boring to me.

# 80, easily. It simply radiates!!
From a design perspective, # 25 is just a disaster.

I missed the first vote. I'd vote for 267. It's clearly a superior design and has much better members featured. [Big Grin]

I'll vote for 25 on the 2nd vote. The smiles and youthful optimism are just way too cheezy on the 2nd one.

25 thats the one I felt more compelled. It attracted me whereas the #80 repelled me, as oddly it works that way to me. [Smile]

PS I am baaack from two weeks business trip. I am pretty much exhausted. ah... nice to be home.
