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. Beauty's where you find it. Not just where you bump and grind it.

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