I've definitely seen the Legion depicted by these from the list...
Neal Adams (covers in the early 70's or late 60's)

Carmine Infantino (that digest and a backup story)

Nick Cardy (covers in the early 70's)

Steve Ditko (fill-ins before Giffen came along)

Dick Dillin (in the JLA/JSA/Legion crossover)

Brian Bolland (at least one DC Comics Presents cover)

Murphy Anderson (he inked a Dave Cockrum story and one of the issues from Earthwar)

I may be mistaken, but I don't think any of the others have drawn them.

IIRC Nick Cardy drew the story featuring featuring the Tornado Twins...and the same issue had a cover by Neal Adams. (two at once - sweet)

The closest I ever saw to Kirby art on the LSH was the Amalgam Spiderboy comic. Not bad either, an interesting look at might-have-beens.

All that Curt Swan artwork and no Murphy Anderson? Really? I though the two were inseperable as a team for years.

No Mike Sekowsky pics surprises me too. He was a hot property on the first incarnation of the JLA and that was roughly concurrent with the Legion's formative Adventure years...waitaminnit, didn't he have a part in the first Dr. Mantis Morlo story?


Jim Steranko
Brian Bolland
Berni Wrightson
Alex Toth
Will Eisner
*drool*
Not any artwork out there of the Legion by these guys that I know of but I just know it'd be exceptional if there was.

-if you know where to find some link it up!- [Big Grin]

JRjr would be cool I guess but I'm not sure it would be anything to shout about from the rooftops.

...and there are a couple of guys there I don't know anything about.

Neal Adams drew several latter-day ADVENTURE covers. Good stuff it was too! But Yellow, the Tornado Twins tale is drawn by none other than the groovy super-faboo WIN MORTIMER, whose Legion work is grossly underappreciated.

I'd love to see the following take a stab at a Legion tale:

MIKE ALLRED

DARWYN COOKE

JAE LEE

BILL SCIENZWICZ (sic)

Really? I had the distinct impression that it was Nick Cardy on the art chores for that one. I guess 'ol Morty really outdid himself to tell the story of Barry Allen's descendants.

Great list too, Lash. I'd love to see a SCIENZWICZ (sic) pic of the Legion in his New Mutants/Warlock style of illustrating.

I think Jae Lee's style would fit a Shadow lass story really well. I also think Marc Silvestri (sp?) would be an awesome guest artist

Back when Image was all the rage, I kinda wished the Legion could have had an artistic treatment like that. In fact, IIRC, at that time, The Legion on the Run was happening. I kept imagining the new costumes and attitudes all Image-y. Probably not a popular opinion, but I liked all the splashy art. Not that I purchased much of it...

IVAN REIS!!

I hope that once he's done on Blackest Night, his next project is Levitz's return to the Legion. I hope, I hope, I hope, I hope!

That would be too sweet. Can't imagine it happening though, not for an extended stay. He's too big.

I thought about getting a sketch of Kid Psycho done by Allred, but I couldn't get one anyway.

What do you guys think of Amanda Conner drawing a story about Night Girl and the Subs?

I'd settle for Reis doing an annual.

Amanda Conner doing a Night Girl and the Subs story would be delightful.

Oh and hey, what about Adam Warren? You think his style might work for a version of the Legion?

Steve Epting, but he's Marvel-exclusive ATM and probably not interested anyway. He does want a second shot at Superman, though*, so if that happens he could end up drawing the Legion at least as guest stars.


* In the late 90s, he was fired from Superman after just a few issues, due to editorial and creative reshuffling.

I'm so old school. I'd love to see either Romita (Sr. or Jr.) drawing the Legion. Let's get Tom Palmer to ink, so long as I'm dreaming out loud.
