Does anybody here know who designed that awful "swimsuit" costume Cosmic Boy wore back in the 70's? I think he had it during the Earth War storyline and I know it was pre-Giffen.

Thanks. smile

It was first used in a story illustated by Mike Grell. I believe Mike designed it, and was the only artist who really pulled it off. Grell drew super sexy guys. By the end of Earth War, Joe Staton was doing the art. I love much of Staton's comic work, but his Legion was always too cartoony. As drawn by him, Rokk's new costume looked really silly.

Thanks!

Me, I think the costume looked silly no matter who drew it, but I can see it working better as drawn by Grell. I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did.

The best that costume ever looked was drawn by James Sherman in LSH #262.

Of course, Sherman drew everybody supersexy in that issue. Ayla and Jo's innocent flirting and kiss comes to mind, as well.
