The childhood friend Exnihil never had.

Like Kent, sentiment demands S/LSH 226. But experience overrides sentiment. I vote BAXTER. Visit the FULL FRONTAL FANDANGO & laugh along with Lash at http://lashlaugh.wordpress.com/

Great cover. Dawnstar's first appearance as designed by Mike Grell himself. She looked great then, and in my opinion, has never looked better. Beauty's where you find it. Not just where you bump and grind it.

I just never liked Giffen's art in this period. Big Dog! Big Dog! Bow Wow Wow!

Not only was it Dawny's debut but a fantastic cover by the great Grell!

Drake and Jo were unrecognizable on that Baxter cover (indeed, if Jo's vest wasn't peeking open, to show a hint of emerald dragon-ness, I would have guessed it was Gim). Wrapped Around Your Finger now complete in BITS!

They look ready to kick some ass, on the other cover, they're nothing more than whiny jerks. Plus, no Superboy on that baxter cover.

But 226 has some weird poses and composition with the surrounding Legionnaires, but Dawny looks nice, which is more than I can say about anyone on the Baxter cover. So by being less bad than the other, I go 226. Long Live the Legion!

Those are some of the few good redesigns he did in late Baxter. I like the attitude in the poses as well. That's not a terribly impressive Grell cover. Dawny just looks to submissive in her debut. Not a great first impression. Still "Lardy" to my friends!

I always thought the whole appeal of his very popular earlier look was the originality of the visor. Here he just look so generic to me. Like Auron or Fire or Stein-Firestorm or a dozen other characters.

They both suck equally hard. Why can't we vote on Sherman's interior art for #226? That was excellent. Why couldn't he have done the cover? Buy my new graphic novel! http://www.dodeka12.com

I'm not in love with Drake's look here, but I like the idea behind it--to experiment with giving Drake a more human appearance, something that was long overdue in hindsight. I also like how the attempt backfired with Dawny. It adds an extra layer of pathos to Drake's tragic side. Still "Lardy" to my friends!
