Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Bits o' Legionnaire Business What if George Perez had drawn the silver age Legion?

I posted this in my figurines thread, but maybe it deserves its own topic.

I don't have discerning enough eye to probably know the difference. Weren't artists like Ditko, Swan, Cockrum and Lightle a part of that era? Can't go much wrong with that line-up

Here's the "before" image.

I love it Jim! Did you do it? I'm glad you (or whoever did it) fixed Tinya in it too. As much as I love the Perez original, it's always bugged me that Tinya's power is depicted exactly the same as Jacques'.

Just turned SuperMAN into SuperBOY with a little super duper plastic surgery. Thanks, Blackie. Yes, I did all of this in Photoshop.

Just lovely to look through and as mentioned on the other thread the little things. Like Stone Boy replacing Blok, Ferro Lad's ghost in place of Jacques, Night replacing Dawn, Light Lass now seems to be levitating Cosmic Boy. Pol always looked unsteady on the old one.

Superman's tweak makes it even better.

I was trying to remember where I'd seen a Perez Superboy on a Legion cover.

I thought about showing a beam from Ayla's hand to indicate she was indeed levitating Cos but decided against it. Then I had to move him over anyway to get Jimmy in and it wouldn't have worked as well.

I can't see your link but the only flying Perez drawn Superboy cover I could find was LSH 280 and the drawing wasn't up to par with this one imho.

My link was indeed for 280. I just couldn't recall which issue it was. He's still pretty muscled up, but not quite as much as his older self.

<------------- IMPRESSED!

Next up is the Giffen 5YG diorama. 25 identical people in identical grey uniforms standing in shadows with their heads down or faces blacked out.

Was anyone left untouched? Mon-El, Sun Boy, Brainy (apart from the arm)?

I touched pretty much everybody even if it was just to brighten up their colors, or darken their black key lines. Other than that I didn't touch Mon-El, just did a few color corrections on Ultra Boy and Sun Boy, and beefed up Magnetic Kid's muscles to make him look more like the others. Everybody else got pretty much over-hauled. Just altered Superman's head, neck and cape collar.

Nicely done!

Thanks, IB. Watch for further developments!

That's everybody but the Kitchen-Sink-of-Space Lad!

Brilliant. I was going to mention the super pets, but didn't want to sound like an ass after all the work you'd just put into it

There's possibly something improper happening between Comet and Kid Psych though...

You Perv Lad! Now I have to think about that every time I see this.

Not to worry. Elastic Lad is nearby, so precautions are available.

So I lost my job almost 2 months ago and have had no luck finding a new one. Was thinking about having posters printed of this. How much would people be willing to pay for one?

I'm happy to see Rond Vidar pictured there. Wish he had been included in George Perez's original poster that yours is based upon.
