In Adv 303, we saw a "colossal space creature" which seized the "Sputnik." Sorry if that's vague. We also met Meglaro and I'll make a trivia question about the girl in this picture. Anyone remember who she is? I affectionately call her Lovey Dovey. ![[Linked Image]](http://mywebpage.netscape.com/deanlegionsketch/Adv303.jpg)

Jeepers! That girl looks like she'd sock you if you tried to put the moves on her!

From Adventure Comics #304, the dreaded Zaryan the Conqueror in probably the ugliest hat EVER! He's accompanied by his Warrior Robots. From Adv 305, a couple rejects: Dynamo Kid and Antennae Boy... ![[Linked Image]](http://mywebpage.netscape.com/deanlegionsketch/Adv304n5.jpg)

Also in Adv 305, Marvel Lad was introduced. He actually battled a beast called the Sun Eater! I guess this Sun Eater was forgettable, especially compared to the one we'd meet later.... ![[Linked Image]](http://mywebpage.netscape.com/deanlegionsketch/MarvelLadSunEater.jpg)

These sketches are truly magnificent. I love the new takes you've come up with using the 1950s space monster designs from ADVENTURE COMICS. But if you want a challenge, you might want to try tackling the Super-Moby Dick of Space creature that was responsible for Lightning Lad losing his right arm. Just a thought.

Damn Dean! You are getting mighty good with that pen! I'm really disappointed that you didn't try out for CBR Comicbook Idol when they had it. I think you would have stood a decent chance.

Thanks for all the nice comments everbody! Since this is really all I do with my artwork right now, it's nice that it's so well received. Hey Scott, I never heard of the contest you mentioned. Sounds like it was fun! If you ever see anything like that, feel free to forward a link to me. Can't hurt to look into such things. I'm feeling all groovy right now!

I AM BESIDE MYSELF LIKE A CARGGITE. How did I miss the second picture of my future husband, Lester? Ooh, pout you li'l prince!
I like the color/finish of the Flame Beast.
"Lovey Dovey" cracks me up! (So what was her story?)
And am I the only one who thinks of Seahorse while viewing the Antenna Boy sketch?
Dean, I'm so glad you shared these. Thanks!

Dean, I'm so glad you shared these. Thanks! [/b] Glad you like the second Lester sketch. It's not that different from the first, just a little bit. Lovey Dovey is actually Chameleon Boy in disguise. I'll have to look at the story again, but he and Cos had to act like honeymoon tourists for some reason. He told Cos if he tries to get lovey dovey, he'll sock him! Glad you liked the Flame Beast. I wanted it to have a Komodo Dragon feel. I did several other sketches that didn't work as well. I'd still like to work on a drawing that nails what I'm after.

I wanted to bump this thread for a few reasons...
1. I love Dean's work here and it deserves to be seen again.
2. I've been waiting for the Fall Custom Con to debut my Lester action figure that was inspired by Dean's drawing on the second page here.
3. Thanks for the inspiration Dean.
Something Filthy!

Hey, thank YOU! I really want to organize these drawings into a sort of online encylopedia, but I really have no idea when I'd ever get around to it...

Heh! I actually did several and have them sitting in a drawer somewhere! If I may say so... I did some pretty cute drawings of some pretty Lallor Ladies!
I'll have to scan and post sometime, but I have a few other things taking up my time right now...

The Parakat was an interesting creature from Xanthu's southern Jungle Mountains. The Parakat can mimic human speech! ![[Linked Image]](http://mywebpage.netscape.com/deanlegionsketch/Adv282.jpg) Bump for Cobalt Kid!

Bumped because I often find myself referring to this thread! Currently, there is a discussion about Marvel Lad on the SLSH board.

The Super Woman on page two is really 'knock-your-socks-off' beautiful! I really love that pic Dean. I never really cared for the costume until you drew it. ![[Linked Image]](http://mywebpage.netscape.com/deanlegionsketch/Luma.jpg) [/QB][/QUOTE]

Thanks a lot, Cobes! I wish I was patient enough to do nice inks and colors. Alas, I'm appropriately named *Sketch* Lad!
