Okay. Thanks, matlock. At least my brain isn't completely shot.

Garth, Imra and Gim assisted Salu in collecting some of this energy only to react to it and be hunted by Bounty... -- Todd Schoonover, 2001 Anyone have a picture of this ? (I thought that Bounty was an 5YL character, but the writer implies that the event took place earlier-- pre-Crisis.) I'm working on a Violet-centric fic right now, and I'd love you forever. Thanks. [/b]Yeah, this character was later reavealed to be Jaeger Tallspirit, a cousin of Dawnstar. His lack of wings have led to some speculation that he too, was possessed by the "Bounty" entity which could have had some sort of vendetta on Dawnstar's bloodline...

I can't remember if I've asked this before. I thought I had, but when I did a search it came up empty:
Can I get a ruling on just how Phantom Girl's homeworld is spelled? I'm sure I've seen both "Bgtzl" and "Bgztl" in multiple places where you'd expect it to be spelled correctly. Is there any kind of consensus of authoritative sources on this spelling?

Thanks.
Not that I doubt your word, but I would like to know more about just what is the basis on which you say that.

Who exactly is this woman Xera? And what where the names of the members of the UP Military Academy during the FYL stories, specifically #57.

Xera was the heroine of Manna-5, introduced (briefly) in the Universo Project story.

Ah yes, thank you SO much. Actually, I think someone on here nicknamed her Satomi Tiger. What do you think?

Sorry about the above. Every time I tried going to the smilie legend the computer started wigging out. So I tried to view them by typing in the names and previewing them. I hit add reply instead of preview for the above.

No problem. It's a known bug with Internet Explorer (works fine in Firefox) due to the amount of images. And Steve Lightle discussed "Tiger Girl" here .

Another day, another question:
Chronologically speaking, who proposed to his beloved first: Garth or Chuck ?
Thanks in advance.

Chuck. Bouncing Boy and Duo Damsel's wedding was the end of the Cockrum era; Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl didn't get married until Paul Levitz came along.

Dude. Watch your mailbox for cookies. The non-exploding kind.

I have that giant comic where Bouncing Boy marries Duo Damsel. Jim Starlin did the cover for that ish. I've often wondered if I'm related to Jim Starlin(I have the same last name). To my knowledge Jim Starlin only did a handfull of Legion covers but he didn't do any interior artwork for any Legion issues. Am I correct or has Jim Starlin worked on some issues of the Legion. If so does anyone know which issues? Also at the start of this thread there was something about best 80's Legion costume. My vote for most improved costume has to go to 80's Timber Wolf. Its kinda hard to rock Autumn colors but man did they pull it off.

Jim Starlin did the interior art for Superboy & the LSH # 239 - "Murder Most Foul".

Anyone got a pic of Weber's World (planetside) somewhere ? Even just one of those skinny-panel skyline shots would help out a lot with something I'm working on at the moment. Thanks in advance.

gosh...see how strong Dawnstar is? Loved #242.. artwork was so good at that time. One of the best book ever out in the rack (before George Perez/John Byrne/Jim Lee eras).

Also he is still writing and drawing - right now it's Strange Adventures guest-starring Adam Strange, Omega Men, Hawkman, Captain Comet, the Weird, etc.

So, FC, at this point I should probably be putting your name in the "thank you" section of the fic I'm working on. I don't know if that would be a solid career move for you, though. Let me know if it's okay.
