This is the first time in ages I've finished something not school related. It was meant to be done for Christmas, but I couldn't decide what to use as a reference for the candle holder. Since the holidays are over, I opted for simplicity.

Trio Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Somehow the Legion survived, as a back-up in Superboy it was saved, Would it ever re-emerge in force...? And then there was Dave
Tinya, Garth and Imra, Cham, Gim and Brin, The granduer of Wildfire, where can I begin?
It marks one era to the next, The growth of the Legion for each fan, There's no need to sugarcoat it, Dave was the man.
We still loved him long after, And even now we still do, So Mr. Cockrum, from all of Legion fandom, I tell you we miss you.
RIP

Great selection! I'm not too sure which costumes are dave's so don't know which else to post. Which characters debuted during Dave's run?

Cos' mankini was a Grell creation, as was Tyroc's outfit and Colossal Boy's bare-legged look. Lu's split-atard, Imra's bikini and Ayla's blue/white side-stripe outfit were all derived from readers' designs, IIRC.

TIMBER WOLF also benefitted from a Cockrum redesign.
(Dave's outfit for Light Lass may have been his own idea; at least, it's not based on the outfit Ayla wore in the reader-design piece reprinted at the beginning of LSH Archive # 10, which included the Saturn Girl pink bikini and the Duo Damsel orange/purple "split-atard")

HOW could I have forgotten Brin? S/LSH 197 was so awesome!
I remember reading shomewhere that Ayla's disco-era outfit was a prominent female LSH-fan design... maybe Mercy Van Vlack? Actually, I think it was one of the others. I'll have to look around for the info.

I think it was Carol Strickland that came up with Alya's 70's Light Lass costume.

Drake, Not surprisingly, your style is perfect for depicting Cockrum's characters!

That's right! She used to talk about it on the DC/Wonder Woman boards.

Just found this on James Sherman's FB page. Since they're Cockrum designs, I put it here. Posted by Lone Wolf Legionnaire on :
Here's The Imperial Guard, By Dave.

Cockrum's Timber Wolf by Joe Phillips Posted by Lone Wolf Legionnaire on :
Dave Cockrum's Legion characters.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Classic!
Posted by Lone Wolf Legionnaire on :
A new version of Brimstone, Son of the Demon Entrigan/ AKA Kirbee Kokrum.
I Frankensteined in some larger ears to make him look more like the Demon and less like Nightcrawler but enough of both.
This idea started when Dave said in the Legion Companion:(when asked about doing a Legion Elseworlds story using his creations the Outsiders and the Strangers/Devastators/Annihilators) Dave: If I get to do one, thats what I want to do. Aside from trying to borrow Nightcrawler, if I couldn't [do that], I would come up with a character similar to Nightcrawler.
Dave originally wanted to make Nightcrawler a demon from hell, before he took him to Marvel and made him a mutant for the X-Men.
It would be nice if one of the writers here on LegionWorld could come up with an 31st century origin story for this character,I have a few ideas about his weapons, but writing is not my forte, (pun intended) see!
