Here's an ad from around 1979. I'm pretty sure the art's by Joe Staton.
Feel free to add other group shots to this thread.

This great SWAN group shot appears as a cover to one of the old LSH indexes. Many may have missed it.

Here's one from the wedding tabloid. I had to scan it in several parts and cobble it back together. I also did a little bit of touch up and color adjustment. It's certainly not perfect...

We are so alike. I still have my original tabloid... complete with this pull-put that I used crayons on to correct all the coloring errors. Heh!!

Agreed about not perfect (What is?), but still a nearly seamless job. No apparent sign of color corrections, which means ya nailed it!

And a small group of my own...

Well... Swan, Kaye, and Adams, actually. From the covers of Action 252, Secret Origins 25, and Superboy 147.

Check out the way Lightning Lad's undies are bunching up over his belt. Lu totally just gave him her infamous triple-wedgie!

I don't think I've ever seen Lu with that hair, come to think of it. Both the color and the shape are not what I'm used to from her...

Interesting shot. Note that it has to take place during the events of Adventure # 317: Dream Girl is a member, and Ayla is still Lightning Lass.

I'm surprised not to see Shady there. I always forget what a relative late-comer she was to the team, showing up after the Shooter Four (Karate Kid, Princess Projectra, Ferro Lad and Nemesis Kid).

Yup, she was the last new Legionnaire before the Legion left Adventure.
But that was a few years, I think, or at least quite a few stories.

She was in the Fatal Five comeback and the Mordru introduction arc, as well as, the 'girl' story with Ambassador . . . Thorna, was it?

All of which you probably knew, but some of the youngsters might not have.

Actually, no. Chemical King and Timber Wolf joined in Adv. 372; Tasmia joined in 366 (after having been intro'd in 365).

Ambassador Thora was the villain in 368.

It is interesting how much Tasmia appeared after her introduction. In many cases (Wildfire, for example), a new Legionnaire faded into the background immediately after joining. But Tasmia figures prominently in the next few stories, as you point out, and even develops enough of a personality that Lu cattily accuses her of going after Brainy, then Mon. I wonder if Shady was a favorite of Shooter's, or if he naturally gravitated toward the characters he created.

The man is very much hit or miss with female characters. Tasmia is almost without fail, a strong character, while Jeckie, another Shooter creation, is fainting all the time (and really doesn't seem to develop a personality until she snaps Nemesis Kid's neck, decades later).

Good point, Set. Although three girls (Projectra, Dream Girl, and White Witch) defeat Mordru and Lu's defining scene of pining for Superboy establishes her as a strong personality, those appear to be the exceptions during Shooter's run.

I think this art was by Jimmy Janes, but he wasn't credited. It's a subscription ad from around 1980.
